DESCRIPTION
These functions are the reentrant analogs of the functions described in
drand48(3).
Instead of modifying the global random generator state, they use
the supplied data
R buffer .
Before the first use, this struct must be initialized, for example,
by filling it with zeroes, or by calling one of the functions
R srand48_r (),
R seed48_r (),
or
R lcong48_r ().
RETURN VALUE
The return value is 0.
CONFORMING TO
These functions are GNU extensions and are not portable.
