# 231564 12-Feb-2012 ed

Globally replace u_int*_t from (non-contributed) man pages.

The reasoning behind this, is that if we are consistent in our
documentation about the uint*_t stuff, people will be less tempted to
write new code that uses the non-standard types.

I am not going to bump the man page dates, as these changes can be
considered style nits. The meaning of the man pages is unaffected.

mdoc: order prologue macros consistently by Dd/Dt/Os

most widely used and also required by mdocml/mandoc.

mdoc(7) police: scheduled sweep.

# 104900 11-Oct-2002 phk

Slight overhaul of arc4random() and friends.

One bug fixed: Use getmicrouptime() to trigger reseeds so that we
cannot be tricked by a clock being stepped backwards.

Express parameters in natural units and with natural names.

Don't use struct timeval more than we need to.

Various stylistic and readability polishing.

Introduce arc4rand(void *ptr, u_int len, int reseed) function which
returns a stream of pseudo-random bytes, observing the automatic
reseed criteria as well as allowing forced reseeds.

Rewrite arc4random() in terms of arc4rand().
