The subdirectories contain the template source code for all the linbox fuctionality. See the Modules list of this documentation for the discussion of these main parts of linbox. Also a few headers are directly in this directory. They are for including features of wrapped packages such as Givaro and NTL.

Typedef Documentation

typedef Integer integer

This is a representation of arbitrary integers. It is a wrapper of GMP integers. Arithmetic operations are via C++ infix operator forms (eg. a*b) . It is for ``casual'' uses such as characteristics and cardinalities and when initializing field elements. The integers are also represented as a LinBox ring for use in integer matrix computation, see gmp-integers.h or ntl-ZZ.h.
