DESCRIPTION
These functions generate pseudo-random numbers using the linear congru‐
ential algorithm and 48-bit integer arithmetic.
The drand48() and erand48() functions return nonnegative double-preci‐
sion floating-point values uniformly distributed over the interval
[0.0, 1.0).
The lrand48() and nrand48() functions return nonnegative long integers
uniformly distributed over the interval [0, 2^31).
The mrand48() and jrand48() functions return signed long integers uni‐
formly distributed over the interval [-2^31, 2^31).
The srand48(), seed48() and lcong48() functions are initialization
functions, one of which should be called before using drand48(),
lrand48() or mrand48(). The functions erand48(), nrand48() and
jrand48() do not require an initialization function to be called first.
All the functions work by generating a sequence of 48-bit integers, Xi,
according to the linear congruential formula:
Xn+1 = (aXn + c) mod m, where n >= 0
The parameter m = 2^48, hence 48-bit integer arithmetic is performed.
Unless lcong48() is called, a and c are given by:
a = 0x5DEECE66D
c = 0xB
The value returned by any of the functions drand48(), erand48(),
lrand48(), nrand48(), mrand48() or jrand48() is computed by first gen‐
erating the next 48-bit Xi in the sequence. Then the appropriate num‐
ber of bits, according to the type of data item to be returned, is
copied from the high-order bits of Xi and transformed into the returned
value.
The functions drand48(), lrand48() and mrand48() store the last 48-bit
Xi generated in an internal buffer. The functions erand48(), nrand48()
and jrand48() require the calling program to provide storage for the
successive Xi values in the array argument xsubi. The functions are
initialized by placing the initial value of Xi into the array before
calling the function for the first time.
The initializer function srand48() sets the high order 32-bits of Xi to
the argument seedval. The low order 16-bits are set to the arbitrary
value 0x330E.
The initializer function seed48() sets the value of Xi to the 48-bit
value specified in the array argument seed16v. The previous value of
Xi is copied into an internal buffer and a pointer to this buffer is
returned by seed48().
The initialization function lcong48() allows the user to specify ini‐
tial values for Xi, a and c. Array argument elements param[0-2] spec‐
ify Xi, param[3-5] specify a, and param[6] specifies c. After
lcong48() has been called, a subsequent call to either srand48() or
seed48() will restore the standard values of a and c.

The above functions record global state information for the random num‐
ber generator, so they are not thread-safe.
