MOUT(3MP)               COMMAND REFERENCE               MOUT(3MP)



NAME
     mout, min, omout, omin, fmout, fmin - multiple precision
     integer input/output

SYNOPSIS
     cc ... -lmp

     #include <stdio.h>
     #include <mp.h>

     mout(a)
     min(a)
     omout(a)
     omin(a)
     fmout(a, fp)
     fmin(a, fp)
     MINT *a;
     FILE *fp;

DESCRIPTION
     These routines are used to input and output on integers of
     arbitrary length.  The integers are stored using the defined
     type MINT, which is found in /usr/include/mp.h.

     The subroutine mout prints the value of the given multiple
     precision integer on the standard output, followed by a
     newline.

     The subroutine min reads an integer from the standard input
     and places the value in the argument.  Spaces, tabs and
     backslashes (\) are ignored in the input, and any `-'
     character negates the number.  Thus, the string ``-12   5-''
     is interpreted as 125.  If a character other than 0-9,
     space, tab, newline, backslash, or `-' is encountered, the
     character is placed back in the input via ungetc(3s), and is
     ignored.  Upon end of file, the value EOF is returned.

     The subroutines omout and omin work the same as mout and
     min, except that the conversions are done in octal.  Omin
     does not check to see if the input contains digits greater
     than 7.

     The subroutines fmout and fmin work the same as mout and
     min, except that the given FILE pointer is used for input
     and output.
