+.Sh NAME
+.Nm idgen32 ,
+.Nm idgen32_init
+.Nd non-repeating ID generation
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In crypto/idgen.h
+.Ft void
+.Fn idgen32_init "struct idgen32_ctx *ctx"
+.Ft uint32_t
+.Fn idgen32 "struct idgen32_ctx *ctx"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn idgen32
+functions provide a facility to generate a stream of 32-bit numbers
+that are strongly unpredictable and have a repetition cycle close to
+2^32.
+Such numbers are useful as protocol identifiers where there are negative
+consequences to reusing an ID within a short time period, as may happen
+if they are simply assigned at random.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn idgen32_init
+function prepares a context structure for use.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn idgen32
+function returns a new ID in host byte order.
+Note that this function will never return 0 as it often has a special
+meaning in network protocols.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr arc4random 9
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+functions were added in
+.Ox 4.4 .
