The function pow() in libmp(3) clashes with pow(3) in libm. We could rename this single function, but we can just take the same approach as the Solaris folks did, which is to prefix all function names with mp_. libmp(3) isn't really popular nowadays. I suspect not a single application in ports depends on it. There's still a chance, so I've increased the SHLIB_MAJOR and __FreeBSD_version. Reviewed by: deischen, rdivacky

.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In mp.h
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Function prototypes are given in the main body of the text.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Applications using this interface must be linked with
|
|
.Fl l Ns Ar mp

|
|
and
|
|
.Fl l Ns Ar crypto
|
|
.Pq Xr crypto 3 .
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Bf -symbolic
|
|
This interface is obsolete in favor of the
|
|
.Xr crypto 3
|
|
.Vt BIGNUM
|
|
library.
|
|
.Ef
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is the traditional
|
|
.Bx
|
|
multiple precision integer arithmetic library.
|
|
It has a number of problems,
|
|
and is unsuitable for use in any programs where reliability is a concern.
|
|
It is provided here for compatibility only.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
These routines perform arithmetic on integers of arbitrary precision
|
|
stored using the defined type
|
|
.Vt MINT .
|
|
Pointers to
|
|
.Vt MINT
|
|
are initialized using
|
|
.Fn mp_itom
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn mp_xtom ,
|
|
and must be recycled with
|
|
.Fn mp_mfree
|
|
when they are no longer needed.
|
|
Routines which store a result in one of their arguments expect that
|
|
the latter has also been initialized prior to being passed to it.
|
|
The following routines are defined and implemented:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ft "MINT *" Ns
|
|
.Fn mp_itom "short n" ;
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ft "MINT *" Ns
|
|
.Fn mp_xtom "const char *s" ;
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ft "char *" Ns
|
|
.Fn mp_mtox "const MINT *mp" ;
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ft void
|
|
.Fn mp_mfree "MINT *mp" ;
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Fn mp_itom
|
|
returns an
|
|
.Vt MINT
|
|
with the value of
|
|
.Fa n .
|
|
.Fn mp_xtom
|
|
returns an
|
|
.Vt MINT
|
|
with the value of
|
|
.Fa s ,
|
|
which is treated to be in hexadecimal.
|
|
The return values from
|
|
.Fn mp_itom
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn mp_xtom
|
|
must be released with
|
|
.Fn mp_mfree
|
|
when they are no longer needed.
|
|
.Fn mp_mtox
|
|
returns a null-terminated hexadecimal string having the value of
|
|
.Fa mp ;
|
|
its return value must be released with
|
|
.Fn free
|
|
.Pq Xr free 3
|
|
when it is no longer needed.

.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|
|
This version of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is implemented in terms of the
|
|
.Xr crypto 3
|
|
.Vt BIGNUM
|
|
library.
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
Running out of memory or illegal operations result in error messages
|
|
on standard error and a call to
|
|
.Xr abort 3 .
|

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
A
|
|
.Nm
|
|
library appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.3 .
|
|
.Fx 2.2
|
|
shipped with a
|
|
.Nm
|
|
implemented in terms of
|
|
.Nm libgmp .
|
|
This implementation appeared in
|
|
.Fx 5.0 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
Errors are reported via output to standard error and abnormal
|
|
program termination instead of via return values.
|
|
The application cannot control this behavior.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It is not clear whether the string returned by
|
|
.Fn mp_mtox
|
|
may be written to by the caller.
|
|
This implementation allows it, but others may not.
|
|
Ideally,
|
|
.Fn mp_mtox
|
|
would take a pointer to a buffer to fill in.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It is not clear whether using the same variable as both source and
|
|
destination in a single invocation is permitted.
|
|
Some of the calls in this implementation allow this, while others
|
|
do not.
