DESCRIPTION

37       These functions are the reentrant analogs of the functions described in
38       drand48(3).  Instead of modifying the global  random  generator  state,
39       they use the supplied data buffer.
40
41       Before the first use, this struct must be initialized, e.g.  by filling
42       it with zeroes,  or  by  calling  one  of  the  functions  srand48_r(),
43       seed48_r(), or lcong48_r().
44

RETURN VALUE

46       The return value is 0.
47

CONFORMING TO

49       These functions are GNU extensions and are not portable.
