L<foo|foo> is sub-optimal If the xref is the same as the title, which is what we do, then you only need L<foo>. This fixes all 1457 occurrences in 349 files. Approximately. (And pod used to need both.) Reviewed-by: Richard Levitte <levitte@openssl.org>

=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
BN_add() adds I<a> and I<b> and places the result in I<r> (C<r=a+b>).
|
|
I<r> may be the same B<BIGNUM> as I<a> or I<b>.
|
|
|
|
BN_sub() subtracts I<b> from I<a> and places the result in I<r> (C<r=a-b>).
|
|
|
|
BN_mul() multiplies I<a> and I<b> and places the result in I<r> (C<r=a*b>).
|
|
I<r> may be the same B<BIGNUM> as I<a> or I<b>.
|
|
For multiplication by powers of 2, use L<BN_lshift(3)>.
|
|
|
|
BN_sqr() takes the square of I<a> and places the result in I<r>
|
|
(C<r=a^2>). I<r> and I<a> may be the same B<BIGNUM>.
|
|
This function is faster than BN_mul(r,a,a).
|
|
|
|
BN_div() divides I<a> by I<d> and places the result in I<dv> and the
|
|
remainder in I<rem> (C<dv=a/d, rem=a%d>). Either of I<dv> and I<rem> may
|
|
be B<NULL>, in which case the respective value is not returned.
|
|
The result is rounded towards zero; thus if I<a> is negative, the
|
|
remainder will be zero or negative.
|
|
For division by powers of 2, use BN_rshift(3).
|
|
|
|
BN_mod() corresponds to BN_div() with I<dv> set to B<NULL>.
|
|
|
|
BN_nnmod() reduces I<a> modulo I<m> and places the non-negative
|
|
remainder in I<r>.
|
|
|
|
BN_mod_add() adds I<a> to I<b> modulo I<m> and places the non-negative
|
|
result in I<r>.
|
|
|
|
BN_mod_sub() subtracts I<b> from I<a> modulo I<m> and places the
|
|
non-negative result in I<r>.
|
|
|
|
BN_mod_mul() multiplies I<a> by I<b> and finds the non-negative
|
|
remainder respective to modulus I<m> (C<r=(a*b) mod m>). I<r> may be
|
|
the same B<BIGNUM> as I<a> or I<b>. For more efficient algorithms for
|
|
repeated computations using the same modulus, see
|
|
L<BN_mod_mul_montgomery(3)> and
|
|
L<BN_mod_mul_reciprocal(3)>.
|
|
|
|
BN_mod_sqr() takes the square of I<a> modulo B<m> and places the
|
|
result in I<r>.
|
|
|
|
BN_exp() raises I<a> to the I<p>-th power and places the result in I<r>
|
|
(C<r=a^p>). This function is faster than repeated applications of
|
|
BN_mul().
|
|
|
|
BN_mod_exp() computes I<a> to the I<p>-th power modulo I<m> (C<r=a^p %
|
|
m>). This function uses less time and space than BN_exp().
|
|
|
|
BN_gcd() computes the greatest common divisor of I<a> and I<b> and
|
|
places the result in I<r>. I<r> may be the same B<BIGNUM> as I<a> or
|
|
I<b>.
|
|
|
|
For all functions, I<ctx> is a previously allocated B<BN_CTX> used for
|
|
temporary variables; see L<BN_CTX_new(3)>.
|
|
|
|
Unless noted otherwise, the result B<BIGNUM> must be different from
|
|
the arguments.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
For all functions, 1 is returned for success, 0 on error. The return
|
|
value should always be checked (e.g., C<if (!BN_add(r,a,b)) goto err;>).
|
|
The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>.

=head1 HISTORY
|
|
|
|
BN_add(), BN_sub(), BN_sqr(), BN_div(), BN_mod(), BN_mod_mul(),
|
|
BN_mod_exp() and BN_gcd() are available in all versions of SSLeay and
|
|
OpenSSL. The I<ctx> argument to BN_mul() was added in SSLeay
|
|
0.9.1b. BN_exp() appeared in SSLeay 0.9.0.
|
|
BN_nnmod(), BN_mod_add(), BN_mod_sub(), and BN_mod_sqr() were added in
|
|
OpenSSL 0.9.7.
