+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+\fIYarrow_Init()\fR initializes a \fBYarrow_CTX\fR structure. \fBfilename\fR can
+be NULL, or the path to a seed file that Yarrow will use to store the
+PRNG state for use in later sessions. Returns \fBYARROW_OK\fR if the
+PRNG is seeded on exit, or \fBYARROW_NOT_SEEDED\fR if the PRNG is not yet
+seeded.
+.PP
+\fIYarrow_New_Source()\fR associates entropy sources such as keyboard input,
+mouse movements and other unpredictable events with a
+\fBYarrow_CTX\fR. The function assigns a unique number to the new source,
+and places it in \fBsource_id\fR.
+.PP
+\fIYarrow_Poll()\fR gathers entropy from the state of the machine and adds
+it to the source \fBsource_id\fR. The source has to be allocated by the
+user with Yarrow_New_Source. Returns \fBYARROW_OK\fR if the PRNG is
+seeded on exit, or \fBYARROW_NOT_SEEDED\fR if the PRNG is not yet seeded.
+.PP
+\fIYarrow_Input()\fR is used to add randomness from the source \fBsource_id\fR
+to the PRNG. It reads \fBsize\fR bytes at the address \fBsample\fR. An
+estimate of the entropy in bits contained in the sample must be
+specified as \fBentropy_bits\fR.
+.PP
+\fIYarrow_Status()\fR returns \fBYARROW_OK\fR if the PRNG has enough entropy to
+produce output, and \fBYARROW_NOT_SEEDED\fR if calls to \fIYarrow_Output()\fR
+would fail.
+.PP
+If num_sources is not NULL, the number of entropy sources that still
+need to be seeded is returned in \fB*num_sources\fR.
+.PP
+If source_id is not NULL, the entropy source that is closest to its
+threshold is returned in \fB*source_id\fR. \fB*source_id\fR is set to \-1 if
+no sources have either reached their threshold or not collected any
+entropy yet.
+.PP
+If not NULL, \fB*entropy_bits\fR is set to the current number of bits for
+the source \fB*source_id\fR, and \fB*entropy_max\fR to the threshold.
+.PP
+\fIYarrow_Output()\fR generates \fBsize\fR bytes of cryptographically strong
+pseudo-random output and places them at \fBout\fR. The return value must
+always be checked. If an error occurs, the PRNG may produce
+predictable data or no output at all.
+.PP
+\fIYarrow_Register_Source_Estimator()\fR registers an entropy estimator
+for \fBsource_id\fR. An entropy estimator is a function that tries to
+estimate the entropy in a sample and returns the entropy in bits
+in order to detect abnormal situations in which the samples have a very
+low entropy.
+.PP
+\fIYarrow_Final()\fR writes the PRNG state to the seed file and erases it
+from memory.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+All functions return \fBYARROW_OK\fR on success. Error conditions are reported
+as follows:
+.PP
+.Vb 16
+\& YARROW_FAIL generic failure
+\& YARROW_NOT_INIT YarrowInit() hasn't been called
+\& YARROW_ALREADY_INIT YarrowInit() has already been called
+\& YARROW_NO_DRIVER driver doesn't exist
+\& YARROW_CANT_OPEN can't open driver
+\& YARROW_BAD_SOURCE invalid source id
+\& YARROW_TOO_MANY_SOURCES can't create any more source IDs
+\& YARROW_BAD_ARG invalid argument
+\& YARROW_ACCESS insufficient privileges
+\& YARROW_NOMEM out of memory
+\& YARROW_NORSRC a resource (apart from memory) is exhausted
+\& YARROW_NOT_SEEDED not enough entropy to generate output
+\& YARROW_LOCKING locking error
+\& YARROW_NO_STATE there is no state to load
+\& YARROW_STATE_ERROR error with state load or save
+\& YARROW_NOT_IMPL not implemented
