Description
Dear DragonFlyBSD bugs,
There is an incorrect statement in the
arc4random(3)
Manual page; The manual page reads:
".....which uses 8*8 8 bit S-Boxes ..."
But ARC4 uses 256 (not 64) "8-bit S-Boxes"; Which corresponds to "2**8"
(using
the same syntax used elsewhere in that manual page).
The same mistake is present in the FreeBSD arc4random(3) manual page.

Sincerely,
