+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These functions are the reentrant analogs of the functions described in
+.BR drand48 (3).
+Instead of modifying the global random generator state, they use
+the supplied data
+.IR buffer .
+.P
+Before the first use, this struct must be initialized, for example,
+by filling it with zeros, or by calling one of the functions
+.BR srand48_r (),
+.BR seed48_r (),
+or
+.BR lcong48_r ().
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The return value is 0.
+.SH ATTRIBUTES
+For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
