ANSI_SYNOPSIS
	#include <stdlib.h>
	int rand(void);
	void srand(unsigned int <[seed]>);
	int rand_r(unsigned int *<[seed]>);
 
TRAD_SYNOPSIS
	#include <stdlib.h>
	int rand();
 
	void srand(<[seed]>)
	unsigned int <[seed]>;
 
	void rand_r(<[seed]>)
	unsigned int *<[seed]>;
 
 
DESCRIPTION
<<rand>> returns a different integer each time it is called; each
integer is chosen by an algorithm designed to be unpredictable, so
that you can use <<rand>> when you require a random number.
The algorithm depends on a static variable called the ``random seed'';
starting with a given value of the random seed always produces the
same sequence of numbers in successive calls to <<rand>>.
 
You can set the random seed using <<srand>>; it does nothing beyond
storing its argument in the static variable used by <<rand>>.  You can
exploit this to make the pseudo-random sequence less predictable, if
you wish, by using some other unpredictable value (often the least
significant parts of a time-varying value) as the random seed before
beginning a sequence of calls to <<rand>>; or, if you wish to ensure
(for example, while debugging) that successive runs of your program
use the same ``random'' numbers, you can use <<srand>> to set the same
random seed at the outset.
 
RETURNS
<<rand>> returns the next pseudo-random integer in sequence; it is a
number between <<0>> and <<RAND_MAX>> (inclusive).
 
<<srand>> does not return a result.
 
NOTES
<<rand>> and <<srand>> are unsafe for multi-thread applications.
<<rand_r>> is MT-Safe and should be used instead.
 
 
PORTABILITY
<<rand>> is required by ANSI, but the algorithm for pseudo-random
number generation is not specified; therefore, even if you use
the same random seed, you cannot expect the same sequence of results
on two different systems.
 
<<rand>> requires no supporting OS subroutines.
