=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
BN_bn2bin() converts the absolute value of B<a> into big-endian form
|
|
and stores it at B<to>. B<to> must point to BN_num_bytes(B<a>) bytes of
|
|
memory.
|
|
|
|
BN_bin2bn() converts the positive integer in big-endian form of length
|
|
B<len> at B<s> into a B<BIGNUM> and places it in B<ret>. If B<ret> is
|
|
NULL, a new B<BIGNUM> is created.
|
|
|
|
BN_bn2hex() and BN_bn2dec() return printable strings containing the
|
|
hexadecimal and decimal encoding of B<a> respectively. For negative
|
|
numbers, the string is prefaced with a leading '-'. The string must be
|
|
freed later using OPENSSL_free().
|
|
|
|
BN_hex2bn() converts the string B<str> containing a hexadecimal number
|
|
to a B<BIGNUM> and stores it in **B<bn>. If *B<bn> is NULL, a new
|
|
B<BIGNUM> is created. If B<bn> is NULL, it only computes the number's
|
|
length in hexadecimal digits. If the string starts with '-', the
|
|
number is negative. BN_dec2bn() is the same using the decimal system.
|
|
|
|
BN_print() and BN_print_fp() write the hexadecimal encoding of B<a>,
|
|
with a leading '-' for negative numbers, to the B<BIO> or B<FILE>
|
|
B<fp>.
|
|
|
|
BN_bn2mpi() and BN_mpi2bn() convert B<BIGNUM>s from and to a format
|
|
that consists of the number's length in bytes represented as a 4-byte
|
|
big-endian number, and the number itself in big-endian format, where
|
|
the most significant bit signals a negative number (the representation
|
|
of numbers with the MSB set is prefixed with null byte).
|
|
|
|
BN_bn2mpi() stores the representation of B<a> at B<to>, where B<to>
|
|
must be large enough to hold the result. The size can be determined by
|
|
calling BN_bn2mpi(B<a>, NULL).
|
|
|
|
BN_mpi2bn() converts the B<len> bytes long representation at B<s> to
|
|
a B<BIGNUM> and stores it at B<ret>, or in a newly allocated B<BIGNUM>
|
|
if B<ret> is NULL.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
BN_bn2bin() returns the length of the big-endian number placed at B<to>.
|
|
BN_bin2bn() returns the B<BIGNUM>, NULL on error.
|
|
|
|
BN_bn2hex() and BN_bn2dec() return a null-terminated string, or NULL
|
|
on error. BN_hex2bn() and BN_dec2bn() return the number's length in
|
|
hexadecimal or decimal digits, and 0 on error.
|
|
|
|
BN_print_fp() and BN_print() return 1 on success, 0 on write errors.
|
|
|
|
BN_bn2mpi() returns the length of the representation. BN_mpi2bn()
|
|
returns the B<BIGNUM>, and NULL on error.
|
|
|
|
The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>.

=head1 HISTORY
|
|
|
|
BN_bn2bin(), BN_bin2bn(), BN_print_fp() and BN_print() are available
|
|
in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.
|
|
|
|
BN_bn2hex(), BN_bn2dec(), BN_hex2bn(), BN_dec2bn(), BN_bn2mpi() and
|
|
BN_mpi2bn() were added in SSLeay 0.9.0.
