rand, srand \- bad random number generator
These interfaces are obsoleted by random(3).
function computes a sequence of pseudo-random integers in the range
(as defined by the header file <stdlib.h>).
function sets its argument as the seed for a new sequence of
pseudo-random numbers to be returned by
These sequences are repeatable by calling
with the same seed value.
If no seed value is provided, the functions are automatically
seeded with a value of 1.
