+?S:randfunc:
+?S: Indicates the name of the random number function to use.
+?S: Values include drand48, random, and rand. In C programs,
+?S: the 'nrand' macro is defined to generate uniformly distributed
+?S: random numbers over the range [0., 1.] (see mrand and nrand).

+?S:mrand:
+?S: Indicates the macro to be used to generate normalized
+?S: random numbers. Uses randfunc, often divided by
+?S: (double) ((1 << nrandbits) -1) in order to normalize the result.
+?S: In C programs, the macro 'nrand' is maped on mrand.

+?S:seedfunc:
+?S: Indicates the random number generating seed function.
+?S: Values include srand48, srandom, and srand.
