mp(3MP) 					       Multiple Precision Library Functions						   mp(3MP)

NAME
mp, mp_madd, mp_msub, mp_mult, mp_mdiv, mp_mcmp, mp_min, mp_mout, mp_pow, mp_gcd, mp_rpow, mp_msqrt, mp_sdiv, mp_itom, mp_xtom, mp_mtox, mp_mfree - multiple precision integer arithmetic SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lmp [ library... ] #include <mp.h> void mp_madd(MINT *a, MINT *b, MINT *c); void mp_msub(MINT *a, MINT *b, MINT *c); void mp_mult(MINT *a, MINT *b, MINT *c); void mp_mdiv(MINT *a, MINT *b, MINT *q, MINT *r); int mp_mcmp(MINT *a, MINT *b); int mp_min(MINT *a); void mp_mout(MINT *a); void mp_pow(MINT *a, MINT *b, MINT *c, MINT *d); void mp_gcd(MINT *a, MINT *b, MINT *c); void mp_rpow(MINT *a, short n, MINT *b); int mp_msqrt(MINT *a, MINT *b, MINT *r); void mp_sdiv(MINT *a, short n, MINT *q, short *r); MINT * mp_itom(short n); MINT * mp_xtom(char *a); char * mp_mtox(MINT *a); void mp_mfree(MINT *a); DESCRIPTION
These functions perform arithmetic on integers of arbitrary length. The integers are stored using the defined type MINT. Pointers to a MINT should be initialized using the function mp_itom(n), which sets the initial value to n. Alternatively, mp_xtom(a) may be used to initialize a MINT from a string of hexadecimal digits. mp_mfree(a) may be used to release the storage allocated by the mp_itom(a) and mp_xtom(a) rou- tines. The mp_madd(a,b,c), mp_msub(a,b,c) and mp_mult(a,b,c) functions assign to their third arguments the sum, difference, and product, respec- tively, of their first two arguments. The mp_mdiv(a,b,q,r) function assigns the quotient and remainder, respectively, to its third and fourth arguments. The mp_sdiv(a,n,q,r) function is similar to mp_mdiv(a,b,q,r) except that the divisor is an ordinary integer. The mp_msqrt(a,b,r) function produces the square root and remainder of its first argument. The mp_mcmp(a,b) function compares the values of its arguments and returns 0 if the two values are equal, a value greater than 0 if the first argument is greater than the second, and a value less than 0 if the second argument is greater than the first. The mp_rpow(a,n,b) function raises a to the nth power and assigns this value to b. The mp_pow(a,b ,c,d) function raises a to the bth power, reduces the result modulo c and assigns this value to d. The mp_min(a) and mp_mout(a) functions perform decimal input and output. The mp_gcd(a,b,c) function finds the greatest common divisor of the first two arguments, returning it in the third argument. The mp_mtox( a) function provides the inverse of mp_xtom(a). To release the storage allocated by mp_mtox(a) use free() (see malloc(3C)). Use the -lmp loader option to obtain access to these functions. FILES

The mp_mcmp(a,b) function compares the values of its arguments and returns 0 if the two values are equal, a value greater than 0 if the first argument is greater than the second, and a value less than 0 if the second argument is greater than the first. The mp_rpow(a,n,b) function raises a to the nth power and assigns this value to b. The mp_pow(a,b ,c,d) function raises a to the bth power, reduces the result modulo c and assigns this value to d.
