NAME
       BN_add,	BN_sub,	 BN_mul,  BN_div,  BN_sqr, BN_mod, BN_mod_mul, BN_exp,
       BN_mod_exp, BN_gcd - Arithmetic operations on BIGNUMs

SYNOPSIS
       #include <openssl/bn.h>

       int BN_add(
	       BIGNUM *r, const BIGNUM *a, const BIGNUM *b ); int BN_sub(
	       BIGNUM *r, const BIGNUM *a, const BIGNUM *b ); int BN_mul(
	       BIGNUM *r, BIGNUM *a, BIGNUM *b, BN_CTX *ctx ); int BN_div(
	       BIGNUM *dv, BIGNUM *rem, const  BIGNUM  *a,  const  BIGNUM  *d,
       BN_CTX *ctx ); int BN_sqr(
	       BIGNUM *r, BIGNUM *a, BN_CTX *ctx ); int BN_mod(
	       BIGNUM  *rem,  const BIGNUM *a, const BIGNUM *m, BN_CTX *ctx );
       int BN_mod_mul(
	       BIGNUM *ret, BIGNUM *a, BIGNUM *b, const BIGNUM *m, BN_CTX *ctx
       ); int BN_exp(
	       BIGNUM *r, BIGNUM *a, BIGNUM *p, BN_CTX *ctx ); int BN_mod_exp(
	       BIGNUM  *r, BIGNUM *a, const BIGNUM *p, const BIGNUM *m, BN_CTX
       *ctx ); int BN_gcd(
	       BIGNUM *r, BIGNUM *a, BIGNUM *b, BN_CTX *ctx );

DESCRIPTION
       The BN_add() function adds a and b and places the result in r  (r=a+b).
       The r value can be the same BIGNUM as a or b.

       The  BN_sub()  function	subtracts  b from a and places the result in r
       (r=a-b).

       The BN_mul() function multiplies a and b and places  the	 result	 in  r
       (r=a*b).	 The r value may be the same BIGNUM as a or b. For multiplica‐
       tion by powers of 2, use the BN_lshift() function.

       The BN_div() function divides a by d and places the result  in  dv  and
       the  remainder  in  rem (dv=a/d, rem=a%d).  Either of dv and rem may be
       NULL, in which case the respective value is not returned. For  division
       by powers of 2, use the BN_rshift() function.

       The  BN_sqr() function takes the square of a and places the result in r
       (r=a^2). The r and a values may be the same BIGNUM.  This  function  is
       faster than BN_mul(r,a,a).

       The  BN_mod() function finds the remainder of a divided by m and places
       it in rem (rem=a%m).

       The BN_mod_mul() function multiplies a by b  and	 finds	the  remainder
       when  divided by m (r=(a*b)%m). The r value may be the same BIGNUM as a
       or b. For a more efficient algorithm, see BN_mod_mul_montgomery(3); for
       repeated	 computations  using the same modulus, see BN_mod_mul_recipro‐
       cal(3).

       The BN_exp() function raises a to the p power and places the result  in
       r  (r=a^p).  This  function  is	faster	than  repeated applications of
       BN_mul().

       BN_mod_exp() computes a to the p power modulo  m	 (r=a^p	 %  m).	  This
       function uses less time and space than BN_exp().

       BN_gcd() computes the greatest common divisor of a and b and places the
       result in r.  The r value may be the same BIGNUM as a or b.

       For all functions, ctx is a previously allocated BN_CTX used for tempo‐
       rary variables. See BN_CTX_new(3).

       Unless  noted  otherwise,  the result BIGNUM must be different from the
       arguments.

RETURN VALUES
       For all functions, 1 is returned for success, 0 on  error.  The	return
       value  should  always be checked (e.g., if (!BN_add(r,a,b)) goto err;).
       The error codes can be obtained by using the ERR_get_error() function.

HISTORY
       The BN_add(), BN_sub(),	BN_div(),  BN_sqr(),  BN_mod(),	 BN_mod_mul(),
       BN_mod_exp(),  and BN_gcd() are available in all versions of SSLeay and
       OpenSSL. The ctx argument to BN_mul() was added in SSLeay  0.9.1b.  The
       BN_exp() function appeared in SSLeay 0.9.0.
