.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBBN_ULONG\fR is a macro that will be an unsigned integral type optimied
for the most efficient implementation on the local platform.
.PP
\&\fBBN_zero()\fR, \fBBN_one()\fR and \fBBN_set_word()\fR set \fBa\fR to the values 0, 1 and
\&\fBw\fR respectively.  \fBBN_zero()\fR and \fBBN_one()\fR are macros.
.PP
\&\fBBN_value_one()\fR returns a \fBBIGNUM\fR constant of value 1. This constant
is useful for use in comparisons and assignment.
.PP
\&\fBBN_get_word()\fR returns \fBa\fR, if it can be represented as a \fBBN_ULONG\fR.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBBN_get_word()\fR returns the value \fBa\fR, or all-bits-set if \fBa\fR cannot
be represented as a \fBBN_ULONG\fR.
.PP
\&\fBBN_zero()\fR, \fBBN_one()\fR and \fBBN_set_word()\fR return 1 on success, 0 otherwise.
\&\fBBN_value_one()\fR returns the constant.
.SH BUGS
.IX Header "BUGS"
If a \fBBIGNUM\fR is equal to the value of all-bits-set, it will collide
with the error condition returned by \fBBN_get_word()\fR which uses that
as an error value.
.PP
\&\fBBN_ULONG\fR should probably be a typedef.

.SH HISTORY
.IX Header "HISTORY"
\&\fBBN_zero()\fR, \fBBN_one()\fR and \fBBN_set_word()\fR are available in all versions of
SSLeay and OpenSSL. \fBBN_value_one()\fR and \fBBN_get_word()\fR were added in
SSLeay 0.8.
.PP
\&\fBBN_value_one()\fR was changed to return a true const BIGNUM * in OpenSSL
0.9.7.
