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 buffer.
Before the first use, this struct must be initialized, for
example, by filling it with zeros, or by calling one of the
functions srand48_r(),
seed48_r(), or lcong48_r().
