NAME
BN_set_bit, BN_clear_bit, BN_is_bit_set, BN_mask_bits, BN_lshift,
BN_lshift1, BN_rshift, BN_rshift1 - bit operations on BIGNUMs
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/bn.h>
int BN_set_bit(BIGNUM *a, int n);
int BN_clear_bit(BIGNUM *a, int n);
int BN_is_bit_set(const BIGNUM *a, int n);
int BN_mask_bits(BIGNUM *a, int n);
int BN_lshift(BIGNUM *r, const BIGNUM *a, int n);
int BN_lshift1(BIGNUM *r, BIGNUM *a);
int BN_rshift(BIGNUM *r, BIGNUM *a, int n);
int BN_rshift1(BIGNUM *r, BIGNUM *a);
DESCRIPTION
BN_set_bit(3) sets bit n in a to 1 ("a|=(1<<n)"). The number is expanded
if necessary.
BN_clear_bit() sets bit n in a to 0 ("a&=~(1<<n)"). An error occurs if
a is shorter than n bits.
BN_is_bit_set() tests if bit n in a is set.
BN_mask_bits() truncates a to an n bit number ("a&=~((~0)<<n)"). An
error occurs if n is negative. An error is also returned if the
internal representation of a is already shorter than n bits. The
internal representation depends on the platform's word size, and this
error can be safely ignored. Use BN_num_bits(3) to determine the exact
number of bits if needed.
BN_lshift() shifts a left by n bits and places the result in r
("r=a*2^n"). Note that n must be nonnegative. BN_lshift1() shifts a
left by one and places the result in r ("r=2*a").
BN_rshift() shifts a right by n bits and places the result in r
("r=a/2^n"). Note that n must be nonnegative. BN_rshift1() shifts a
right by one and places the result in r ("r=a/2").
For the shift functions, r and a may be the same variable.
RETURN VALUES
BN_is_bit_set() returns 1 if the bit is set, 0 otherwise.
All other functions return 1 for success, 0 on error. The error codes
can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3).
