+.Sh NAME
+.Nm rand ,
+.Nm rand_r ,
+.Nm srand
+.Nd bad random number generator
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In stdlib.h
+.Ft void
+.Fn srand "unsigned int seed"
+.Ft int
+.Fn rand void
+.Ft int
+.Fn rand_r "unsigned int *seed"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Bf -symbolic
+These interfaces are obsoleted by
+.Xr random 3 .
+.Ef
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn rand
+function computes a sequence of pseudo-random integers in the range
+of 0 to
+.Dv RAND_MAX
+(as defined by the header file
+.In stdlib.h ) .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn srand
+function sets its argument as the seed for a new sequence of
+pseudo-random numbers to be returned by
+.Fn rand .
+These sequences are repeatable by calling
+.Fn srand
+with the same seed value.
+.Pp
+If no seed value is provided, the functions are automatically
+seeded with a value of 1.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn rand_r
+is a thread-safe version of
+.Fn rand .
+Storage for the seed must be provided through the
+.Fa seed
+argument, and needs to have been initialized by the caller.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr arc4random 3 ,
+.Xr rand48 3 ,
+.Xr random 3
+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Fn rand
+and
+.Fn srand
+functions conform to
+.St -ansiC .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn rand_r
+function conforms to
+.St -p1003.1-2008 .
+.Sh HISTORY
+The functions
+.Fn rand
+and
+.Fn srand
+first appeared in
+.At v3 .
