                     11: .SH DESCRIPTION
                     12: These functions use
                     13: .IR rand (3C)
                     14: to generate sequences of random numbers.
                     15: If
                     16: .I iflag
                     17: is '1', the generator is restarted and the first random value is returned.
                     18: If
                     19: .I iflag
                     20: is otherwise non-zero, it is used as a new seed for the random number
                     21: generator, and the first new random value is returned.
