# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' # on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must # make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| mpfr: mpfr (Multiple-Precision Floating-Point Reliable Library) mpfr: mpfr: The MPFR library is a C library for multiple-precision floating-point mpfr: computations with exact rounding (also called correct rounding). mpfr: It is based on the GMP multiple-precision library. mpfr: The main goal of MPFR is to provide a library for multiple-precision mpfr: floating-point computation which is both efficient and has mpfr: well-defined semantics. It copies the good ideas from the mpfr: ANSI/IEEE-754 standard for double-precision floating-point arithmetic mpfr: (53-bit mantissa). mpfr:
