Generate uniformly distributed pseudorandom number sequences. Returns 48-bit signed, long integers.
#include <stdlib.h>long int jrand48 (unsigned short int xsubi[3]);
xsubi
An array of three short int that form a 48-bit integer when concatentated together.
This function generates pseudorandom numbers using the linear congruential algorithm and 48-bit integer arithmetic.The function returns signed long integers uniformly distributed over the range of y values, such that -231 <= y < 231 .
The function works by generating a sequence of 48-bit integer values, Xi, according to the linear congruential formula:
Xn+1 = (aXn+c)mod m n >= 0The argument m equals 248 , so 48-bit integer arithmetic is performed. Unless you invoke the lcong48 function, the multiplier value a and the addend value c are:
a = 5DEECE66D16 = 2736731631558 c = B16 = 138The jrand48 function requires that the calling program pass an array as the xsubi argument, which for the first call must be initialized to the initial value of the pseudorandom number sequence. Unlike the drand48 function, it is not necessary to call an initialization function prior to the first call.
By using different arguments, jrand48 allows separate modules of a large program to generate several independent sequences of pseudorandom numbers. For example, the sequence of numbers that one module generates does not depend upon how many times the function is called by other modules.
n Signed, long integers uniformly distributed over the range -2 31 <= y < 2 31 .
Sends a signal to the process specified by a process ID.
#include <signal.h>int kill (int pid, int sig);
pid
The process ID.sig
The signal code.
This function sends a signal to a process, as if the process had called raise . If the signal is not trapped or ignored by the target program, the program exits.OpenVMS VAX and Alpha implement different rules about what process you are allowed to send signals to. A program always has privileges to send a signal to a child started with vfork / exec . For other processes, the results are determined by the OpenVMS security model for your system.
Because of an OpenVMS restriction, the kill function cannot deliver a signal to a target process that runs an image installed with privileges.
Unless you have system privileges, the sending and receiving processes must have the same user identification code (UIC).
On OpenVMS systems before Version 7.0, kill treats a signal value of 0 as if SIGKILL were specified.
For OpenVMS Version 7.0 and higher systems, if you include <stdlib.h> and compile with the _POSIX_EXIT feature-test macro set, then:
- If the signal value is 0, kill validates the process ID but does not send any signals.
- If the process ID is not valid, kill returns --1 and sets errno to ESRCH.
0 Indicates that kill was successfully queued. --1 Indicates errors. The receiving process may have a different UIC and you are not a system user, or the receiving process does not exist.
