27 BN_set_bit() sets bit B<n> in B<a> to 1 (C<a|=(1E<lt>E<lt>n)>). The
28 number is expanded if necessary.
30 BN_clear_bit() sets bit B<n> in B<a> to 0 (C<a&=~(1E<lt>E<lt>n)>). An
31 error occurs if B<a> is shorter than B<n> bits.
33 BN_is_bit_set() tests if bit B<n> in B<a> is set.
35 BN_mask_bits() truncates B<a> to an B<n> bit number
36 (C<a&=~((~0)E<gt>E<gt>n)>). An error occurs if B<a> already is
37 shorter than B<n> bits.
39 BN_lshift() shifts B<a> left by B<n> bits and places the result in
40 B<r> (C<r=a*2^n>). BN_lshift1() shifts B<a> left by one and places
41 the result in B<r> (C<r=2*a>).
43 BN_rshift() shifts B<a> right by B<n> bits and places the result in
44 B<r> (C<r=a/2^n>). BN_rshift1() shifts B<a> right by one and places
45 the result in B<r> (C<r=a/2>).
47 For the shift functions, B<r> and B<a> may be the same variable.
51 BN_is_bit_set() returns 1 if the bit is set, 0 otherwise.
53 All other functions return 1 for success, 0 on error. The error codes
54 can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>.

62 BN_set_bit(), BN_clear_bit(), BN_is_bit_set(), BN_mask_bits(),
63 BN_lshift(), BN_lshift1(), BN_rshift(), and BN_rshift1() are available
64 in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.
