5 BN_add_word, BN_sub_word, BN_mul_word, BN_div_word, BN_mod_word - arithmetic
6 functions on BIGNUMs with integers
10 #include <openssl/bn.h>
12 int BN_add_word(BIGNUM *a, BN_ULONG w);
14 int BN_sub_word(BIGNUM *a, BN_ULONG w);
16 int BN_mul_word(BIGNUM *a, BN_ULONG w);
18 BN_ULONG BN_div_word(BIGNUM *a, BN_ULONG w);
20 BN_ULONG BN_mod_word(const BIGNUM *a, BN_ULONG w);
24 These functions perform arithmetic operations on BIGNUMs with unsigned
25 integers. They are much more efficient than the normal BIGNUM
26 arithmetic operations.
28 BN_add_word() adds B<w> to B<a> (C<a+=w>).
30 BN_sub_word() subtracts B<w> from B<a> (C<a-=w>).
32 BN_mul_word() multiplies B<a> and B<w> (C<a*=w>).
34 BN_div_word() divides B<a> by B<w> (C<a/=w>) and returns the remainder.
36 BN_mod_word() returns the remainder of B<a> divided by B<w> (C<a%w>).
38 For BN_div_word() and BN_mod_word(), B<w> must not be 0.
42 BN_add_word(), BN_sub_word() and BN_mul_word() return 1 for success, 0
43 on error. The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>.
45 BN_mod_word() and BN_div_word() return B<a>%B<w> on success and
46 B<(BN_ULONG)-1> if an error occurred.
50 L<bn(3)|bn(3)>, L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>, L<BN_add(3)|BN_add(3)>
54 BN_add_word() and BN_mod_word() are available in all versions of
55 SSLeay and OpenSSL. BN_div_word() was added in SSLeay 0.8, and
56 BN_sub_word() and BN_mul_word() in SSLeay 0.9.0.
58 Before 0.9.8a the return value for BN_div_word() and BN_mod_word()
59 in case of an error was 0.
