BN_zero() and BN_one() are macros. + +BN_value_one() returns a B constant of value 1. This constant +is useful for use in comparisons and assignment. + +BN_get_word() returns B, if it can be represented as an unsigned +long. + +=head1 RETURN VALUES + +BN_get_word() returns the value B, and 0xffffffffL if B cannot +be represented as an unsigned long. + +BN_zero(), BN_one() and BN_set_word() return 1 on success, 0 otherwise. +BN_value_one() returns the constant. + +=head1 BUGS + +Someone might change the constant. + +If a B is equal to 0xffffffffL it can be represented as an +unsigned long but this value is also returned on error. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L, L + +=head1 HISTORY + +BN_zero(), BN_one() and BN_set_word() are available in all versions of +SSLeay and OpenSSL. BN_value_one() and BN_get_word() were added in +SSLeay 0.8. + +BN_value_one() was changed to return a true const BIGNUM * in OpenSSL +0.9.7. + +=cut -- cgit v1.2.3
