NAME

6       random, drandm, irandm - better random number generator
7

SYNOPSIS

9       function irandm (iflag)
10
11       function random (iflag)
12
13       double precision function drandm (iflag)

DESCRIPTION

16       These  functions use random(3) to generate sequences of random numbers,
17       and should be used rather than the older functions described in man  3f
18       rand.   If  iflag  is non-zero, it is used as a new seed for the random
19       number generator, and the first new random value is returned.
20
21       Irandm returns positive integers in the range 0  through  2147483647  (
22       2**31-1).   Random and drandm return values in the range 0. through 1.0
23       by dividing the integer random number from random(3) by 2147483647 .
