Popis:	The flow of information in high-energy collisions has been recently investigated by various groups: this includes the entanglement entropy of the proton becoming classical information entropy of pdfs, jet splitting affecting entropy, or the entropy distribution in hadron decays. Here we examine fragmentation functions in this context, including their entropy as probability distributions, and propose it as one convenient number to characterize progress in their extraction. We also use the Kullback-Leibler divergence to examine relations between FFs and pdfs such as that of Barone, Drago and Ma. Comment: 7 pages, 12 plots, intended for the proceedings of the XVth International Conference on Quark Confinement and the Hadron Spectrum, August 2022, Norway; submitted to EPJ Web of Conferences
