Input and Output Functions
==========================
When using any of these functions, it's a good idea to include `stdio.h'
before `gmp.h', since that will allow `gmp.h' to define prototypes for
these functions.
Passing a `NULL' pointer for a STREAM argument to any of these
functions will make them read from `stdin' and write to `stdout',
respectively.
- Function: size_t mpq_out_str (FILE *STREAM, int BASE, mpq_t OP)
Output OP on stdio stream STREAM, as a string of digits in base
BASE. The base may vary from 2 to 36. Output is in the form
`num/den' or if the denominator is 1 then just `num'.
Return the number of bytes written, or if an error occurred,
return 0.
- Function: size_t mpq_inp_str (mpq_t ROP, FILE *STREAM, int BASE)
Read a string of digits from STREAM and convert them to a rational
in ROP. Any initial white-space characters are read and
discarded. Return the number of characters read (including white
space), or 0 if a rational could not be read.
The input can be a fraction like `17/63' or just an integer like
`123'. Reading stops at the first character not in this form, and
white space is not permitted within the string. If the input
might not be in canonical form, then `mpq_canonicalize' must be
called ( Rational Number Functions).
The BASE can be between 2 and 36, or can be 0 in which case the
leading characters of the string determine the base, `0x' or `0X'
for hexadecimal, `0' for octal, or decimal otherwise. The leading
characters are examined separately for the numerator and
denominator of a fraction, so for instance `0x10/11' is 16/11,
whereas `0x10/0x11' is 16/17.
