-=== Basics ===
-
-Programs using the PBC library should include the file `pbc.h`:
-
-  #include <pbc.h>
-
-and linked against the PBC library and the GMP library, e.g.
-
-  $ gcc program.c -L. -lpbc -lgmp
-
-The file `pbc.h` already includes `gmp.h`.
-
-PBC follows GMP in several respects:
-
-* Output arguments generally precede input arguments.
-* The same variable can be used as input and output in one call.
-* Before a variable may be used it must be initialized exactly once.
-When no longer needed it must be cleared. For efficiency, unnecessary
-initializating and clearing should be avoided.
-* PBC variables ending with +_t+ behave the same as
-GMP variables in function calls: effectively as call-by references.
-In other words, as in GMP, if a function that modifies an input variable,
-that variable remains modified when control return is returned to the caller.
-* Like GMP, variables automatically allocate memory when needed.
-By default, +malloc()+ and friends are called but this can be changed.
-* PBC functions are mostly reentrant.
-
-Since the PBC library is built on top of GMP, the GMP types
-are available. PBC types are similar to GMP types.
-The following example is paraphrased from an example in the GMP
-manual, and shows how to declare the PBC data type +element_t+.
-
-    element_t sum;
-    struct foo { element_t x, y; };
-    element_t vec[20];
-
-GMP has the +mpz_t+ type for integers, +mpq_t+ for rationals and so on.
-In contrast, PBC uses the +element_t+ data type for elements of different
-algebraic structures, such as elliptic curve groups, polynomial rings and
-finite fields. Functions assume their inputs come from appropriate algebraic
-structures.
-
-PBC data types and functions can be categorized as follows. The first two alone
-suffice for a range of applications.
-
- - +element_t+: elements of an algebraic structure.
- - +pairing_t+: pairings where elements belong; can initialize from sample
-   pairing parameters bundled with PBC in the +param+ subdirectory.
- - +pbc_param_t+: used to generate pairing parameters.
- - +pbc_cm_t+: parameters for constructing curves via the CM method; sometimes
-   required by +pbc_param_t+.
- - +field_t+: algebraic structures: groups, rings and fields; used internally
-   by +pairing_t+.
- - a few miscellaneous functions, such as ones controlling how random bits are
-   generated.
-
-Functions operating on a given data type usually have the same prefix, e.g.
-those involving +element_t+ objects begin with +element_+.
