The lcong48 function generates pseudorandom numbers using the
linear congruential algorithm and 48-bit integer arithmetic.
You can use lcong48 to initialize the random number generator
before you call any of the following functions:
drand48
lrand48
mrand48
The lcong48 function specifies the initial Xi value, the
multiplier value a, and the addend value c. The param array
elements specify the following:
param[0- Xi
2]
param[3- Multiplier a value
5]
param[6] 16-bit addend c value
After lcong48 has been called, a subsequent call to either
srand48 or seed48 restores the standard a and c as specified
previously.
The lcong48 function does not return a value.
