.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fIBN_add()\fR adds \fBa\fR and \fBb\fR and places the result in \fBr\fR (\f(CW\*(C`r=a+b\*(C'\fR).
\&\fBr\fR may be the same \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR as \fBa\fR or \fBb\fR.
.PP
\&\fIBN_sub()\fR subtracts \fBb\fR from \fBa\fR and places the result in \fBr\fR (\f(CW\*(C`r=a\-b\*(C'\fR).
.PP
\&\fIBN_mul()\fR multiplies \fBa\fR and \fBb\fR and places the result in \fBr\fR (\f(CW\*(C`r=a*b\*(C'\fR).
\&\fBr\fR may be the same \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR as \fBa\fR or \fBb\fR.
For multiplication by powers of 2, use BN_lshift(3).
.PP
\&\fIBN_div()\fR divides \fBa\fR by \fBd\fR and places the result in \fBdv\fR and the
remainder in \fBrem\fR (\f(CW\*(C`dv=a/d, rem=a%d\*(C'\fR). Either of \fBdv\fR and \fBrem\fR may
be \s-1NULL\s0, in which case the respective value is not returned.
For division by powers of 2, use \fIBN_rshift\fR\|(3).
.PP
\&\fIBN_sqr()\fR takes the square of \fBa\fR and places the result in \fBr\fR
(\f(CW\*(C`r=a^2\*(C'\fR). \fBr\fR and \fBa\fR may be the same \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR.
This function is faster than BN_mul(r,a,a).
.PP
\&\fIBN_mod()\fR find the remainder of \fBa\fR divided by \fBm\fR and places it in
\&\fBrem\fR (\f(CW\*(C`rem=a%m\*(C'\fR).
.PP
\&\fIBN_mod_mul()\fR multiplies \fBa\fR by \fBb\fR and finds the remainder when
divided by \fBm\fR (\f(CW\*(C`r=(a*b)%m\*(C'\fR). \fBr\fR may be the same \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR as \fBa\fR
or \fBb\fR. For a more efficient algorithm, see
BN_mod_mul_montgomery(3); for repeated
computations using the same modulus, see BN_mod_mul_reciprocal(3).
.PP
\&\fIBN_exp()\fR raises \fBa\fR to the \fBp\fR\-th power and places the result in \fBr\fR
(\f(CW\*(C`r=a^p\*(C'\fR). This function is faster than repeated applications of
\&\fIBN_mul()\fR.
.PP
\&\fIBN_mod_exp()\fR computes \fBa\fR to the \fBp\fR\-th power modulo \fBm\fR (\f(CW\*(C`r=a^p %
m\*(C'\fR). This function uses less time and space than \fIBN_exp()\fR.
.PP
\&\fIBN_gcd()\fR computes the greatest common divisor of \fBa\fR and \fBb\fR and
places the result in \fBr\fR. \fBr\fR may be the same \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR as \fBa\fR or
\&\fBb\fR.
.PP
For all functions, \fBctx\fR is a previously allocated \fB\s-1BN_CTX\s0\fR used for
temporary variables; see BN_CTX_new(3).
.PP
Unless noted otherwise, the result \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR must be different from
the arguments.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
For all functions, 1 is returned for success, 0 on error. The return
value should always be checked (e.g., \f(CW\*(C`if (!BN_add(r,a,b)) goto err;\*(C'\fR).
The error codes can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3).

\&\fIBN_mod_exp()\fR and \fIBN_gcd()\fR are available in all versions of SSLeay and
OpenSSL. The \fBctx\fR argument to \fIBN_mul()\fR was added in SSLeay
0.9.1b. \fIBN_exp()\fR appeared in SSLeay 0.9.0.
