rand (ULTRIX)							 rand (ULTRIX)

NAME
       rand, srand - Generates pseudo-random numbers

LIBRARY
       Standard C Library (libc.a),

       Reentrant Library (lobc_r.a)

       Berkeley Compatibility Library (libbsd.a)

BSD COMPATIBILITY
       The  Digital  UNIX system provides the libbsd.a library to allow you to
       use library functions that are compatible with ULTRIX BSD library func‐
       tions. To use the BSD functions, your program needs to be compiled with
       -D_BSD and the -lbsd options.

       The rand() function returns a number in the  range  of  0  to  (2^3l)-1
       rather than 0 to (2^15)-1. The srand() function provides a seed for the
       random number generator.
