    This is the git repository for [LibTomMath](http://www.libtom.net/LibTomMath/), a free open source portable number theoretic multiple-precision integer (MPI) library written entirely in C.

    ## Summary
    
    The `develop` branch contains the in-development version. Stable releases are tagged.
    
    Documentation is built from the LaTeX file `bn.tex`. There is also limited documentation in `tommath.h`.
    There is also a document, `tommath.pdf`, which describes the goals of the project and many of the algorithms used.
    
    The project can be build by using `make`. Along with the usual `make`, `make clean` and `make install`,
    there are several other build targets, see the makefile for details.
    There are also makefiles for certain specific platforms.
    
    ## Testing
    
    Tests are located in `demo/` and can be built in two flavors.
    * `make test` creates a stand-alone test binary that executes several test routines.
    * `make mtest_opponent` creates a test binary that is intended to be run against `mtest`.
      `mtest` can be built with `make mtest` and test execution is done like `./mtest/mtest | ./mtest_opponent`.
      `mtest` is creating test vectors using an alternative MPI library and `test` is consuming these vectors to verify correct behavior of ltm
    
    ## Building and Installing
    
    Building is straightforward for GNU Linux only, the section "Building LibTomMath" in the documentation in `doc/bn.pdf` has the details.
