5 BN_zero, BN_one, BN_value_one, BN_set_word, BN_get_word - BIGNUM assignment
10 #include <openssl/bn.h>
12 int BN_zero(BIGNUM *a);
13 int BN_one(BIGNUM *a);
15 const BIGNUM *BN_value_one(void);
17 int BN_set_word(BIGNUM *a, unsigned long w);
18 unsigned long BN_get_word(BIGNUM *a);
22 BN_zero(), BN_one() and BN_set_word() set B<a> to the values 0, 1 and
23 B<w> respectively. BN_zero() and BN_one() are macros.
25 BN_value_one() returns a B<BIGNUM> constant of value 1. This constant
26 is useful for use in comparisons and assignment.
28 BN_get_word() returns B<a>, if it can be represented as an unsigned
33 BN_get_word() returns the value B<a>, and 0xffffffffL if B<a> cannot
34 be represented as an unsigned long.
36 BN_zero(), BN_one() and BN_set_word() return 1 on success, 0 otherwise.
37 BN_value_one() returns the constant.
41 Someone might change the constant.
43 If a B<BIGNUM> is equal to 0xffffffffL it can be represented as an
44 unsigned long but this value is also returned on error.
48 L<bn(3)|bn(3)>, L<BN_bn2bin(3)|BN_bn2bin(3)>
52 BN_zero(), BN_one() and BN_set_word() are available in all versions of
53 SSLeay and OpenSSL. BN_value_one() and BN_get_word() were added in
56 BN_value_one() was changed to return a true const BIGNUM * in OpenSSL
