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'').
