Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
All functions shown above:
/* Glibc since 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
|| /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _SVID_SOURCE || _BSD_SOURCE
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, for example,
by filling it with zeros, or by calling one of the functions
srand48_r(), seed48_r(), or lcong48_r().
The return value is 0.
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
attributes(7).
