+.Sh NAME
+.Nm randnum
+.Nd produces random numbers in a range
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Op Fl f Ar fmtstr
+.Op Fl h
+.Op Fl n Ar num
+.Op Fl s Ar seed
+.Oo
+.Op Ar min_val
+.Ar max_val
+.Oc
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+randomly generates evenly distributed double-precision numbers, by in
+the range
+.Ar [ min_val ;
+.Ar max_val ].
+If
+.Ar max_val
+is not specified, it is 1.
+If
+.Ar min_val
+is not specified, it is 0.
+If
+.Ar min_val
+and/or
+.Ar max_val
+are negative, they must be prefixed with the '--' option.
+.Pp
+The number values are drawn from a pseudo-random number generator,
+seeded from current time of day with microsecond resolution.
+Invokations of
+.Nm
+within the same microsecond will produce the same result.
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl f Ar fmtstr
+Formatting string to use as documented in
+.Xr printf 3 .
+When including a format specifier (%..), only use forms that are
+compatible with
+.Vt double
+types.
+The default format string is '%.17g\n'.
+.It Fl h
+Show usage information.
+.It Fl n Ar num
+Number of random points to generate.
+The default is 1.
+.It Fl s Ar seed
+Seed the pseudo-random number generator with this value, which is used
+to generate reproducable binning.
+.El
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+Generate a single value in the default range [0;1[.
+Due to the randomness, your output may differ:
+.Dl $ randnum
+.Dl 0.38385568287140259
+.Pp
+Generate five points in the range [-10;10[ and print with three significant digits:
+.Dl $ randnum -n 5 -f '%.3g\n' -- -10 10
+.Dl -4.16
+.Dl -3.36
+.Dl -5.8
+.Dl -2.31
+.Dl 4.4
