+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+A \fB\s-1BN_CTX\s0\fR is a structure that holds \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR temporary variables used by
+library functions. Since dynamic memory allocation to create \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fRs
+is rather expensive when used in conjunction with repeated subroutine
+calls, the \fB\s-1BN_CTX\s0\fR structure is used.
+.PP
+\&\fIBN_CTX_new()\fR allocates and initializes a \fB\s-1BN_CTX\s0\fR
+structure. \fIBN_CTX_init()\fR initializes an existing uninitialized
+\&\fB\s-1BN_CTX\s0\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fIBN_CTX_free()\fR frees the components of the \fB\s-1BN_CTX\s0\fR, and if it was
+created by \fIBN_CTX_new()\fR, also the structure itself.
+If BN_CTX_start(3) has been used on the \fB\s-1BN_CTX\s0\fR,
+BN_CTX_end(3) must be called before the \fB\s-1BN_CTX\s0\fR
+may be freed by \fIBN_CTX_free()\fR.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
+\&\fIBN_CTX_new()\fR returns a pointer to the \fB\s-1BN_CTX\s0\fR. If the allocation fails,
+it returns \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR and sets an error code that can be obtained by
+ERR_get_error(3).
+.PP
+\&\fIBN_CTX_init()\fR and \fIBN_CTX_free()\fR have no return values.

+\&\fIBN_CTX_new()\fR and \fIBN_CTX_free()\fR are available in all versions on SSLeay
+and OpenSSL. \fIBN_CTX_init()\fR was added in SSLeay 0.9.1b.
