+For all functions which take a single floating-point argument and for

+available for the type @code{double}, @code{float}, and @code{long

+Which of the three versions of the function should be used depends on
+the situation.  For most functions and implementation it is true that
+speed and precision do not go together.  I.e., the @code{float} versions
+are normally faster than the @code{double} and @code{long double}
+versions.  On the other hand the @code{long double} version has the

+@subsection SVID Random Number Function
+
+The C library on SVID systems contains yet another kind of random number
+generator functions.  They use a state of 48 bits of data.  The user can
+choose among a collection of functions which all return the random bits
+in different forms.
+
+Generally there are two kinds of functions: those which use a state of
+the random number generator which is shared among several functions and
+by all threads of the process.  The second group of functions require
+the user to handle the state.
+
+All functions have in common that they use the same congruential
+formula with the same constants.  The formula is
+
+@smallexample
+Y = (a * X + c) mod m
+@end smallexample
+
+@noindent
+where @var{X} is the state of the generator at the beginning and
+@var{Y} the state at the end.  @code{a} and @code{c} are constants
+determining the way the generator work.  By default they are
+
+@smallexample
+a = 0x5DEECE66D = 25214903917
+c = 0xb = 11
+@end smallexample
+
+@noindent
+but they can also be changed by the user.  @code{m} is of course 2^48
+since the state consists of a 48 bit array.

+state of the random number generator in the C library.
+
+Since the @code{double} type according to @w{IEEE 754} has a 52 bit
+mantissa this means 4 bits are not initialized by the random number

+significant 32 bits of the @var{seedval} parameter.  The lower 16 bts
+are initilialized to the value @code{0x330E}.  Even if the @code{long
+int} type contains more the 32 bits only the lower 32 bits are used.
+
+Due to this limitation the initialization of the state using this
+function of not very useful.  But it makes it easy to use a constrcut
+like @code{srand48 (time (0))}.
+
+A side-effect of this function is that the values @code{a} and @code{c}
+from the internal state, which are used in the congruential formula,

+16 bits of the state and the 16 lower bits of @code{@var{seed16v}[2]}
+initialize the most significant 16 bits of the state.
+
+Unlike @code{srand48} this function lets the user initialize all 48 bits
+of the state.
+
+The value returned by @code{seed48} is a pointer to an array containing

+
+From the seven elements in the array @var{param} the least significant
+16 bits of the entries @code{@var{param}[0]} to @code{@var{param}[2]}
+determine the the initial state, the least 16 bits of
