.B minit()
helps to create a multiple-precision integer (or \fBmint\fR).
If a new
.B mint
is declared to be global or automatic,
you must call
.B minit()
before using the variable.
This prevents garbage values in the newly created
.B mint
structure from causing chaos.
A
.B mint
conditioned by
.B minit()
has no value; however, it may be used to receive
the result of an operation.
