Which generator is used in rand function?

I used rand function to generate random numbers from Uniform distribution and from some specific distributions. I've read that Lagged Fibonacci Generator is used in rand function but I couldn't find any official MATLAB document that approves it. Can you tell me if that's a case? If not, which generator is used?

Here is the documentation page that describes the available generators. (See in particular the "Choosing a random number generator" section.) The default for rand mt19937ar, a Mersenne twister algorithm. That is also mentioned in the specific documentation for the rng function, which sets the generator seed.
