+FUNCTION
+<<random>>, <<srandom>>---pseudo-random numbers
+
+INDEX
+	random
+INDEX
+	srandom
+
+ANSI_SYNOPSIS
+	#define _XOPEN_SOURCE 500
+	#include <stdlib.h>
+	long int random(void);
+	void srandom(unsigned int <[seed]>);
+
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+<<random>> returns a different integer each time it is called; each
+integer is chosen by an algorithm designed to be unpredictable, so
+that you can use <<random>> when you require a random number.
+The algorithm depends on a static variable called the ``random seed'';
+starting with a given value of the random seed always produces the
+same sequence of numbers in successive calls to <<random>>.
+
+You can set the random seed using <<srandom>>; it does nothing beyond
+storing its argument in the static variable used by <<rand>>.  You can
+exploit this to make the pseudo-random sequence less predictable, if
+you wish, by using some other unpredictable value (often the least
+significant parts of a time-varying value) as the random seed before
+beginning a sequence of calls to <<rand>>; or, if you wish to ensure
+(for example, while debugging) that successive runs of your program
+use the same ``random'' numbers, you can use <<srandom>> to set the same
+random seed at the outset.
+
+RETURNS
+<<random>> returns the next pseudo-random integer in sequence; it is a
+number between <<0>> and <<RAND_MAX>> (inclusive).
+
+<<srandom>> does not return a result.
+
+NOTES
+<<random>> and <<srandom>> are unsafe for multi-threaded applications.
+
+_XOPEN_SOURCE may be any value >= 500.
+
+PORTABILITY
+<<random>> is required by XSI. This implementation uses the same
+algorithm as <<rand>>.
+
+<<random>> requires no supporting OS subroutines.
