+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+\&\fBBN_bn2bin()\fR converts the absolute value of \fBa\fR into big-endian form
+and stores it at \fBto\fR. \fBto\fR must point to BN_num_bytes(\fBa\fR) bytes of
+memory.
+.PP
+\&\fBBN_bn2binpad()\fR also converts the absolute value of \fBa\fR into big-endian form
+and stores it at \fBto\fR. \fBtolen\fR indicates the length of the output buffer
+\&\fBto\fR. The result is padded with zeros if necessary. If \fBtolen\fR is less than
+BN_num_bytes(\fBa\fR) an error is returned.
+.PP
+\&\fBBN_bin2bn()\fR converts the positive integer in big-endian form of length
+\&\fBlen\fR at \fBs\fR into a \fBBIGNUM\fR and places it in \fBret\fR. If \fBret\fR is
+NULL, a new \fBBIGNUM\fR is created.
+.PP
+\&\fBBN_bn2lebinpad()\fR and \fBBN_lebin2bn()\fR are identical to \fBBN_bn2binpad()\fR and
+\&\fBBN_bin2bn()\fR except the buffer is in little-endian format.
+.PP
+\&\fBBN_bn2nativepad()\fR and \fBBN_native2bn()\fR are identical to \fBBN_bn2binpad()\fR and
+\&\fBBN_bin2bn()\fR except the buffer is in native format, i.e. most significant
+byte first on big-endian platforms, and least significant byte first on
+little-endian platforms.
+.PP
+\&\fBBN_bn2hex()\fR and \fBBN_bn2dec()\fR return printable strings containing the
+hexadecimal and decimal encoding of \fBa\fR respectively. For negative
+numbers, the string is prefaced with a leading '\-'. The string must be
+freed later using \fBOPENSSL_free()\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBBN_hex2bn()\fR takes as many characters as possible from the string \fBstr\fR,
+including the leading character '\-' which means negative, to form a valid
+hexadecimal number representation and converts them to a \fBBIGNUM\fR and
+stores it in **\fBa\fR. If *\fBa\fR is NULL, a new \fBBIGNUM\fR is created. If
+\&\fBa\fR is NULL, it only computes the length of valid representation.
+A "negative zero" is converted to zero.
+\&\fBBN_dec2bn()\fR is the same using the decimal system.
+.PP
+\&\fBBN_print()\fR and \fBBN_print_fp()\fR write the hexadecimal encoding of \fBa\fR,
+with a leading '\-' for negative numbers, to the \fBBIO\fR or \fBFILE\fR
+\&\fBfp\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBBN_bn2mpi()\fR and \fBBN_mpi2bn()\fR convert \fBBIGNUM\fRs 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).
+.PP
+\&\fBBN_bn2mpi()\fR stores the representation of \fBa\fR at \fBto\fR, where \fBto\fR
+must be large enough to hold the result. The size can be determined by
+calling BN_bn2mpi(\fBa\fR, NULL).
+.PP
+\&\fBBN_mpi2bn()\fR converts the \fBlen\fR bytes long representation at \fBs\fR to
+a \fBBIGNUM\fR and stores it at \fBret\fR, or in a newly allocated \fBBIGNUM\fR
+if \fBret\fR is NULL.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
+\&\fBBN_bn2bin()\fR returns the length of the big-endian number placed at \fBto\fR.
+\&\fBBN_bin2bn()\fR returns the \fBBIGNUM\fR, NULL on error.
+.PP
+\&\fBBN_bn2binpad()\fR, \fBBN_bn2lebinpad()\fR, and \fBBN_bn2nativepad()\fR return the number of bytes written or \-1 if the supplied
+buffer is too small.
+.PP
+\&\fBBN_bn2hex()\fR and \fBBN_bn2dec()\fR return a NUL-terminated string, or NULL
+on error. \fBBN_hex2bn()\fR and \fBBN_dec2bn()\fR return the number of characters
+used in parsing, or 0 on error, in which
+case no new \fBBIGNUM\fR will be created.
+.PP
+\&\fBBN_print_fp()\fR and \fBBN_print()\fR return 1 on success, 0 on write errors.
+.PP
+\&\fBBN_bn2mpi()\fR returns the length of the representation. \fBBN_mpi2bn()\fR
+returns the \fBBIGNUM\fR, and NULL on error.
+.PP
+The error codes can be obtained by \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
