=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_bn2binpad() also converts the absolute value of B<a> into big-endian form
|
|
and stores it at B<to>. B<tolen> indicates the length of the output buffer
|
|
B<to>. The result is padded with zeroes if necessary. If B<tolen> is less than
|
|
BN_num_bytes(B<a>) an error is returned.
|
|
|
|
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_bn2lebinpad() and BN_lebin2bn() are identical to BN_bn2binpad() and
|
|
BN_bin2bn() except the buffer is in little-endian format.
|
|
|
|
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() takes as many characters as possible from the string B<str>,
|
|
including the leading character '-' which means negative, to form a valid
|
|
hexadecimal number representation and converts them to a B<BIGNUM> and
|
|
stores it in **B<a>. If *B<a> is NULL, a new B<BIGNUM> is created. If
|
|
B<a> is NULL, it only computes the length of valid representation.
|
|
A "negative zero" is converted to zero.
|
|
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_bn2binpad() returns the number of bytes written or -1 if the supplied
|
|
buffer is too small.
|
|
|
|
BN_bn2hex() and BN_bn2dec() return a null-terminated string, or NULL
|
|
on error. BN_hex2bn() and BN_dec2bn() return the number of characters
|
|
used in parsing, or 0 on error, in which
|
|
case no new B<BIGNUM> will be created.
|
|
|
|
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)>.
