285 .SH "DESCRIPTION"
286 .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
287 This library performs arithmetic operations on integers of arbitrary
288 size. It was written for use in public key cryptography, such as \s-1RSA\s0
289 and Diffie-Hellman.
290 .PP
291 It uses dynamic memory allocation for storing its data structures.
292 That means that there is no limit on the size of the numbers
293 manipulated by these functions, but return values must always be
294 checked in case a memory allocation error has occurred.
295 .PP
296 The basic object in this library is a \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR. It is used to hold a
297 single large integer. This type should be considered opaque and fields
298 should not be modified or accessed directly.
299 .PP
300 The creation of \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR objects is described in \fIBN_new\fR\|(3);
301 \&\fIBN_add\fR\|(3) describes most of the arithmetic operations.
302 Comparison is described in \fIBN_cmp\fR\|(3); \fIBN_zero\fR\|(3)
303 describes certain assignments, \fIBN_rand\fR\|(3) the generation of
304 random numbers, \fIBN_generate_prime\fR\|(3) deals with prime
305 numbers and \fIBN_set_bit\fR\|(3) with bit operations. The conversion
306 of \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fRs to external formats is described in \fIBN_bn2bin\fR\|(3).
