    NTL Interface

    The NTL interface allows conversion between NTL objects and FLINT objects
    and vice versa. The interface is built using C$++$ and is not built as a
    part of the FLINT library library by default. To build the NTL interface
    one must specify the location of NTL with the \code{--with-ntl=path} option
    to configure. NTL version 5.5.2 or later is required.

void fmpz_set_ZZ(fmpz_t rop, const ZZ& op)

    Converts an NTL \code{ZZ} to an \code{fmpz_t}.

    Assumes the \code{fmpz_t} has already been allocated to have
    sufficient space.

void fmpz_get_ZZ(ZZ& rop, const fmpz_t op)

    Converts an \code{fmpz_t} to an NTL \code{ZZ}. Allocation is
    automatically handled.

void fmpz_set_ZZ_p(fmpz_t rop, const ZZ_p& op)

    Converts an NTL \code{ZZ_p} to an \code{fmpz_t}.

    Assumes the \code{fmpz_t} has already been allocated to have
    sufficient space.

void fmpz_get_ZZ_p(ZZ_p& rop, const fmpz_t op)

    Converts an \code{fmpz_t} to an NTL \code{ZZ_p}. Allocation is
    automatically handled. Requires that \code{ZZ_p::init()} has
    already been called.

void fmpz_poly_get_ZZX(ZZX& rop, const fmpz_poly_t op)

    Converts an \code{fmpz_poly_t} to an NTL \code{ZZX}.

void fmpz_poly_set_ZZX(fmpz_poly_t rop, const ZZX& op)

    Converts an NTL \code{ZZX} to an \code{fmpz_poly_t}.

void fmpz_mod_poly_get_ZZ_pX(ZZ_pX& rop, const fmpz_mod_poly_t op)

    Converts an \code{fmpz_mod_poly_t} to an NTL
    \code{ZZ_pX}. Requires that \code{ZZ_p::init()} has already been
    called.

void fmpz_mod_poly_set_ZZ_pX(fmpz_mod_poly_t rop, const ZZ_pX& op)

    Converts an NTL \code{ZZ_pX} to an \code{fmpz_mod_poly_t}.

void fq_get_ZZ_pE(ZZ_pE& rop, const fq_t op, const fq_ctx_t ctx)

     Converts an \code{fq_t} to an NTL \code{ZZ_pE}.  Requires that
     \code{ZZ_pE::init()} has already been called.

void fq_set_ZZ_pE(fq_t rop, const ZZ_pE& op, const fq_ctx_t ctx)

     Converts and NTL \code{ZZ_pE} to an \code{fq_t}.

void fq_poly_get_ZZ_pEX(ZZ_pEX& rop, const fq_poly_t op, const fq_ctx_t ctx)

     Converts an \code{fq_poly_t} to an NTL \code{ZZ_pEX}.  Requires
     that \code{ZZ_pE::init()} has already been called.

void fq_poly_set_ZZ_pE(fq_poly_t rop, const ZZ_pE& op, const fq_ctx_t ctx)

     Converts and NTL \code{ZZ_pEX} to an \code{fq_poly_t}.

void fq_get_zz_pE(zz_pE& rop, const fq_t op, const fq_ctx_t ctx)

     Converts an \code{fq_t} to an NTL \code{zz_pE}.  Requires that
     \code{zz_pE::init()} has already been called.

void fq_set_zz_pE(fq_t rop, const zz_pE& op, const fq_ctx_t ctx)

     Converts and NTL \code{zz_pE} to an \code{fq_t}.

void fq_poly_get_zz_pEX(zz_pEX& rop, const fq_poly_t op, const fq_ctx_t ctx)

     Converts an \code{fq_poly_t} to an NTL \code{zz_pEX}.  Requires
     that \code{zz_pE::init()} has already been called.

void fq_poly_set_zz_pE(fq_poly_t rop, const zz_pE& op, const fq_ctx_t ctx)
