=head1 NAME
BN_add_word, BN_sub_word, BN_mul_word, BN_div_word, BN_mod_word - arithmetic
functions on BIGNUMs with integers
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/bn.h>
int BN_add_word(BIGNUM *a, BN_ULONG w);
int BN_sub_word(BIGNUM *a, BN_ULONG w);
int BN_mul_word(BIGNUM *a, BN_ULONG w);
BN_ULONG BN_div_word(BIGNUM *a, BN_ULONG w);
BN_ULONG BN_mod_word(const BIGNUM *a, BN_ULONG w);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
These functions perform arithmetic operations on BIGNUMs with unsigned
integers. They are much more efficient than the normal BIGNUM
arithmetic operations.
BN_add_word() adds B<w> to B<a> (C<a+=w>).
BN_sub_word() subtracts B<w> from B<a> (C<a-=w>).
BN_mul_word() multiplies B<a> and B<w> (C<a*=w>).
BN_div_word() divides B<a> by B<w> (C<a/=w>) and returns the remainder.
BN_mod_word() returns the remainder of B<a> divided by B<w> (C<a%w>).
For BN_div_word() and BN_mod_word(), B<w> must not be 0.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
BN_add_word(), BN_sub_word() and BN_mul_word() return 1 for success, 0
on error. The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
BN_mod_word() and BN_div_word() return B<a>%B<w> on success and
B<(BN_ULONG)-1> if an error occurred.
