.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 1
\& #include <openssl/bn.h>
\&
\& void BN_zero(BIGNUM *a);
\& int BN_one(BIGNUM *a);
\&
\& const BIGNUM *BN_value_one(void);

.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBBN_ULONG\fR is a macro that will be an unsigned integral type optimized
for the most efficient implementation on the local platform.
.PP
\&\fBBN_zero()\fR, \fBBN_one()\fR and \fBBN_set_word()\fR set \fBa\fR to the values 0, 1 and
\&\fBw\fR respectively. \fBBN_zero()\fR and \fBBN_one()\fR are macros.
.PP
\&\fBBN_value_one()\fR returns a \fBBIGNUM\fR constant of value 1. This constant
is useful for use in comparisons and assignment.
.PP
\&\fBBN_get_word()\fR returns \fBa\fR, if it can be represented as a \fBBN_ULONG\fR.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBBN_get_word()\fR returns the value \fBa\fR, or all-bits-set if \fBa\fR cannot
be represented as a single integer.
.PP
\&\fBBN_one()\fR and \fBBN_set_word()\fR return 1 on success, 0 otherwise.
\&\fBBN_value_one()\fR returns the constant.
\&\fBBN_zero()\fR never fails and returns no value.
.SH BUGS
.IX Header "BUGS"
If a \fBBIGNUM\fR is equal to the value of all-bits-set, it will collide
with the error condition returned by \fBBN_get_word()\fR which uses that
as an error value.
.PP
\&\fBBN_ULONG\fR should probably be a typedef.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.IX Header "SEE ALSO"
\&\fBBN_bn2bin\fR\|(3)
.SH HISTORY
.IX Header "HISTORY"
In OpenSSL 0.9.8, \fBBN_zero()\fR was changed to not return a value; previous
versions returned an int.
