DESCRIPTION="
       DieHarder This is the current snapshot of the dieharder  random  number
       tester.   It encapsulates all of the Gnu Scientific Library random num-
       ber generators as well as /dev/random and /dev/urandom in a single har-
       ness  that  can time them and subject them to various tests for random-
       ness.  These tests are variously drawn from George Marsaglia's 'Diehard
       battery  of  random number tests', the NIST Statistical Test Suite, and
       include a few useful e.g. binning or spectral  tests  that  I've  found
       doing  research  into  random  number tests or tests that I myself have
       made up or that are improvements on tests from other sources.

       The primary point of this tester is to make it easy to  time  and  test
       (pseudo)random  number  generators  OR  hardware  or  other generators.
       Three examples are provided of wrapping a random number  generator  and
       inserting  it  so  that  it is can be called via the GSL interface.  An
       interface is planned that would allow random numbers to be read in from
       a  file,  allowing the tool to be used with any generator (wrappable or
       not) that can generate a table of random numbers.

       Another important motivation for  writing  dieharder  is  to  have  the
       entire  test  code  and  documentation be fully Gnu Public Licensed and
       hence openly available for adaptation, testing, modification, including
       the  addition  of  new  tests.   The  primary objections I have towards
       diehard and sts are not that they are or are not adequate and complete;
       it  is that the code is obscure and not explicitly published for reuse.
       It is my hope that by providing this tool in autodocumenting source, it
       makes  it  easy to add new tests, critique older tests, and improve the
       suite in general."
