NAME

       ea_transpose - Compute the transpose of the restart matrix

SYNOPSIS

       ea_transpose [-v] [-l <index>] <file> <outfile>

DESCRIPTION

       Compute the transpose of the restart matrix of <file>, output to <outfile>.

       -v: Increase verbosity.

       -l <index>:    Read the <index> substring of 1000000 samples.

       <file>:  File  with  (blocks  of)  1000 sets of restart data, each set being 1000 samples.  The result is
              saved in <file>.column This program computes the transpose of the  restart  matrix,  and  produces
              column data appropriate testing with the other tools.  This helps to support the testing described
              in SP800-90B Section 3.1.2 #3

       --version: Prints tool version information
