# 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 ':'.

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).
