        !            17: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !            18: These functions use
        !            19: .IR random (3)
        !            20: to generate sequences of random numbers, and
        !            21: should be used rather than the older functions described in
        !            22: .I man 3f rand.

        !            24: .I iflag
        !            25: is non-zero, it is used as a new seed for the random number
        !            26: generator, and the first new random value is returned.
