.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBBN_mod_mul_reciprocal()\fR can be used to perform an efficient
\&\fBBN_mod_mul\fR\|(3) operation when the operation will be performed
repeatedly with the same modulus. It computes \fBr\fR=(\fBa\fR*\fBb\fR)%\fBm\fR
using \fBrecp\fR=1/\fBm\fR, which is set as described below.  \fBctx\fR is a
previously allocated \fBBN_CTX\fR used for temporary variables.
.PP
\&\fBBN_RECP_CTX_new()\fR allocates and initializes a \fBBN_RECP\fR structure.
.PP
\&\fBBN_RECP_CTX_free()\fR frees the components of the \fBBN_RECP\fR, and, if it
was created by \fBBN_RECP_CTX_new()\fR, also the structure itself.
If \fBrecp\fR is NULL, nothing is done.
.PP
\&\fBBN_RECP_CTX_set()\fR stores \fBm\fR in \fBrecp\fR and sets it up for computing
1/\fBm\fR and shifting it left by BN_num_bits(\fBm\fR)+1 to make it an
integer. The result and the number of bits it was shifted left will
later be stored in \fBrecp\fR.
.PP
\&\fBBN_div_recp()\fR divides \fBa\fR by \fBm\fR using \fBrecp\fR. It places the quotient
in \fBdv\fR and the remainder in \fBrem\fR.
.PP
The \fBBN_RECP_CTX\fR structure cannot be shared between threads.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBBN_RECP_CTX_new()\fR returns the newly allocated \fBBN_RECP_CTX\fR, and NULL
on error.
.PP
\&\fBBN_RECP_CTX_free()\fR has no return value.
.PP
For the other functions, 1 is returned for success, 0 on error.
The error codes can be obtained by \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.IX Header "SEE ALSO"
\&\fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3), \fBBN_add\fR\|(3),

.SH HISTORY
.IX Header "HISTORY"
\&\fBBN_RECP_CTX_init()\fR was removed in OpenSSL 1.1.0
