LIBRARY

       Standard C library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <stdlib.h>

       int drand48_r(struct drand48_data *restrict buffer,
                     double *restrict result);
       int erand48_r(unsigned short xsubi[3],
                     struct drand48_data *restrict buffer,
                     double *restrict result);

       int lrand48_r(struct drand48_data *restrict buffer,
                     long *restrict result);
       int nrand48_r(unsigned short xsubi[3],
                     struct drand48_data *restrict buffer,
                     long *restrict result);

       int mrand48_r(struct drand48_data *restrict buffer,
                     long *restrict result);
       int jrand48_r(unsigned short xsubi[3],
                     struct drand48_data *restrict buffer,
                     long *restrict result);

       int srand48_r(long int seedval, struct drand48_data *buffer);
       int seed48_r(unsigned short seed16v[3], struct drand48_data *buffer);
       int lcong48_r(unsigned short param[7], struct drand48_data *buffer);

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       All functions shown above:
           /* glibc >= 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
               || /* glibc <= 2.19: */ _SVID_SOURCE || _BSD_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION

       These functions are the reentrant analogs of the functions described in drand48(3).  Instead of modifying
       the global random generator state, they use the supplied data buffer.

       Before  the  first  use,  this  struct  must be initialized, for example, by filling it with zeros, or by
       calling one of the functions srand48_r(), seed48_r(), or lcong48_r().

RETURN VALUE

       The return value is 0.
