NAME
       systemd-random-seed.service, systemd-random-seed - Load and save the system random seed at
       boot and shutdown

SYNOPSIS
       systemd-random-seed.service

       /lib/systemd/systemd-random-seed

DESCRIPTION
       systemd-random-seed.service is a service that restores the random seed of the system at
       early-boot and saves it at shutdown. See random(4) for details. Saving/restoring the
       random seed across boots increases the amount of available entropy early at boot. On disk
       the random seed is stored in /var/lib/systemd/random-seed.
