.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
These functions perform arithmetic on integers of arbitrary length. The
integers are stored using the defined type \fBMINT\fR. Pointers to a \fBMINT\fR
should be initialized using the function \fBmp_itom(\fIn\fR)\fR, which sets the
initial value to \fIn\fR. Alternatively, \fBmp_xtom(\fIa\fR)\fR may be used to
initialize a \fBMINT\fR from a string of hexadecimal digits.
\fBmp_mfree(\fIa\fR)\fR may be used to release the storage allocated by the
\fBmp_itom(\fIa\fR)\fR and \fBmp_xtom(\fIa\fR)\fR routines.
.sp
.LP
The \fBmp_madd\fR(\fIa\fR,\fIb\fR,\fIc\fR),
\fBmp_msub\fR(\fIa\fR,\fIb\fR,\fIc\fR) and
\fBmp_mult\fR(\fIa\fR,\fIb\fR,\fIc\fR) functions assign to their third
arguments the sum, difference, and product, respectively, of their first two
arguments.  The \fBmp_mdiv\fR(\fIa\fR,\fIb\fR,\fIq\fR,\fIr\fR) function assigns
the quotient and remainder, respectively, to its third and fourth arguments.
The \fBmp_sdiv\fR(\fIa\fR,\fIn\fR,\fIq\fR,\fIr\fR) function is similar to
\fBmp_mdiv\fR(\fIa\fR,\fIb\fR,\fIq\fR,\fIr\fR) except that the divisor is an
ordinary integer.  The \fBmp_msqrt\fR(\fIa\fR,\fIb\fR,\fIr\fR) function
produces the square root and remainder of its first argument.  The \fB
mp_mcmp\fR(\fIa\fR,\fIb\fR) function compares the values of its arguments and
returns  \fB0\fR if the two values are equal, a value greater than  \fB0\fR if
the first argument is greater than the second, and a value less than  \fB0\fR
if the second argument is greater than the first.  The
\fBmp_rpow\fR(\fIa\fR,\fIn\fR,\fIb\fR) function raises \fIa\fR to the \fIn\fRth
power and assigns this value to \fIb\fR. The \fBmp_pow\fR(\fIa\fR,\fIb\fR
,\fIc\fR,\fId\fR) function raises \fIa\fR to the \fIb\fRth power, reduces the
result  \fBmodulo\fR \fIc\fR and assigns this value to \fId\fR. The
\fBmp_min(\fIa\fR)\fR and \fBmp_mout(\fIa\fR)\fR functions perform decimal
input and output. The \fBmp_gcd\fR(\fIa\fR,\fIb\fR,\fIc\fR) function finds the
greatest common divisor of the first two arguments, returning it in the third
argument.  The \fBmp_mtox(\fI a\fR)\fR function provides the inverse of
\fBmp_xtom(a)\fR. To release the storage allocated by \fBmp_mtox(\fIa\fR)\fR
use \fBfree()\fR (see \fBmalloc\fR(3C)).

.SH DIAGNOSTICS
.sp
.LP
Illegal operations and running out of memory produce messages and core images.
.SH WARNINGS
.sp
.LP
The function \fBpow()\fR exists in both \fBlibmp\fR and \fBlibm\fR with widely
differing semantics. This is the reason \fBlibmp.so.2\fR exists.
\fBlibmp.so.1\fR exists solely for reasons of backward compatibility, and
should not be used otherwise. Use the  \fBmp_*(\|)\fR functions instead.  See
\fBlibmp\fR(3LIB).
