Package: manpages-dev
Version: 3.74-1
Severity: normal
The drand48(3) man page contains:
The drand48() and erand48() functions return nonnegative
double-precision floating-point values uniformly distributed
between [0.0, 1.0).
Instead of "between", it should be "over".
Then, more importantly, there are errors for lrand48, nrand48,
lrand48, and jrand48:
The lrand48() and nrand48() functions return nonnegative
long integers uniformly distributed between 0 and 2^31.
The mrand48() and jrand48() functions return signed long
integers uniformly distributed between -2^31 and 2^31.
According to POSIX, the right bound is 2^31 - 1. Or if you want to
keep 2^31, you should give a semi-open interval as in POSIX: [0,2^31)
and [-2^31,2^31) respectively.
