Then, \fIBN_CTX_get()\fR may be +called repeatedly to obtain temporary \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fRs. All \fIBN_CTX_get()\fR +calls must be made before calling any other functions that use the +\&\fBctx\fR as an argument. +.PP +Finally, \fIBN_CTX_end()\fR must be called before returning from the function. +When \fIBN_CTX_end()\fR is called, the \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR pointers obtained from +\&\fIBN_CTX_get()\fR become invalid. +.SH "RETURN VALUES" +.IX Header "RETURN VALUES" +\&\fIBN_CTX_start()\fR and \fIBN_CTX_end()\fR return no values. +.PP +\&\fIBN_CTX_get()\fR returns a pointer to the \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR, or \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR on error. +Once \fIBN_CTX_get()\fR has failed, the subsequent calls will return \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR +as well, so it is sufficient to check the return value of the last +\&\fIBN_CTX_get()\fR call.
