GMP Basics
**********

   All declarations needed to use GMP are collected in the include file
`gmp.h'.  It is designed to work with both C and C++ compilers.

     #include <gmp.h>

   Note however that prototypes for GMP functions with `FILE *'
parameters are only provided if `<stdio.h>' is included too.

     #include <stdio.h>
     #include <gmp.h>

   *Using functions, macros, data types, etc. not documented in this
manual is strongly discouraged.  If you do so your application is
guaranteed to be incompatible with future versions of GMP.*
