.SH NAME
gauss \- compute zero-mean, unit standard-deviation Gaussian random number
.SH SYNOPSIS
.ft B
float
.br
gauss()
.ft
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I gauss
returns zero-mean, unit standard-deviation (RMS amplitude) gaussian 
distributed floats.  It uses 
.IR random (3)
to generate uniformly-distributed values and transforms these to 
Gaussian-distributed values.  
.I gauss
does not set the random seed so that calling programs can do so.  Calling
programs should set the seed using 
.IR srandom (3).  
.SH EXAMPLE
.if n .ta 33
.if t .ta 3i
long seed = 1234567;
.br
float *gaussdata;
.br
int n;
.br
 . . .
.br
(void) srandom(seed);
.br
for (i = 0; i < points; i++) gaussdata[i] = gauss();
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
None.
