RAND(3)RAND(3)NAME
rand, srand - bad random number generator
SYNOPSIS
void
srand(seed)
unsigned int seed;
rand()DESCRIPTION
These interfaces are obsoleted by random(3).
The rand function computes a sequence of pseudo-random integers in the
range of 0 to RAND_MAX (as defined by the header file <stdlib.h>).
The srand function sets its argument as the seed for a new sequence of
pseudo-random numbers to be returned by rand. These sequences are
repeatable by calling srand with the same seed value.
If no seed value is provided, the functions are automatically seeded
with a value of 1.
STANDARDS
Rand and srand conform to ANSI X3.159-1989 (``ANSI C'').
