These functions are the reentrant analogs of the functions described in drand48(3). Instead of modifying the global random generator state, they use the supplied data buffer.
Before the first use, this struct must be initialized, e.g. by filling it with zeroes, or by calling one of the functions srand48_r(), seed48_r(), or lcong48_r().
The return value is 0.
These functions are GNU extensions and are not portable.
