# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
|
|
|
|
|
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
|
|
|
|
|
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
|
|
|
|
|
# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must
|
|
|
|
|
# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
|
|
|
|
|
# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

|
ent:
|
|
|
|
|
ent: ent applies various tests to sequences of bytes stored in files
|
|
|
|
|
ent: and reports the results of those tests. The program is useful
|
|
|
|
|
ent: for evaluating pseudorandom number generators for encryption and
|
|
|
|
|
ent: statistical sampling applications, compression algorithms, and other
|
|
|
|
|
ent: applications where the information density of a file is of interest.
|
|
|
|
|
ent: Tests performed include Entropy, Chi-square, Arithmetic Mean, Monte
|
|
|
|
|
ent: Carlo value for Pi, and Serial Correlation Coefficient.
