.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_signed_bn2bin()\fR converts the value of \fBa\fR into big-endian signed 2's
complements form and stores it at \fBto\fR. \fBtolen\fR indicates the length of
the output buffer \fBto\fR. The result is signed extended (padded with 0x00
for positive numbers or with 0xff for negative numbers) if necessary.
If \fBtolen\fR is smaller than the necessary size (which may be
\&\f(CW\*(C`<BN_num_bytes(\f(CBa\f(CW) + 1\*(C'\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 \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR and places it in \fBret\fR. If \fBret\fR is
\&\s-1NULL,\s0 a new \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR is created.
.PP
\&\fBBN_signed_bin2bn()\fR converts the integer in big-endian signed 2's complement
form of length \fBlen\fR at \fBs\fR into a \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR and places it in \fBret\fR. If
\&\fBret\fR is \s-1NULL,\s0 a new \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR is created.
.PP
\&\fBBN_bn2lebinpad()\fR, \fBBN_signed_bn2lebin()\fR and \fBBN_lebin2bn()\fR are identical to
\&\fBBN_bn2binpad()\fR, \fBBN_signed_bn2bin()\fR and \fBBN_bin2bn()\fR except the buffer is in
little-endian format.
.PP
\&\fBBN_bn2nativepad()\fR, \fBBN_signed_bn2native()\fR and \fBBN_native2bn()\fR are identical
to \fBBN_bn2binpad()\fR, \fBBN_signed_bn2bin()\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 \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR and
stores it in **\fBa\fR. If *\fBa\fR is \s-1NULL,\s0 a new \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR is created. If
\&\fBa\fR is \s-1NULL,\s0 it only computes the length of valid representation.
A \*(L"negative zero\*(R" 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 \fB\s-1BIO\s0\fR or \fB\s-1FILE\s0\fR
\&\fBfp\fR.
.PP
\&\fBBN_bn2mpi()\fR and \fBBN_mpi2bn()\fR convert \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\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 \s-1MSB\s0 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, \s-1NULL\s0).
.PP
\&\fBBN_mpi2bn()\fR converts the \fBlen\fR bytes long representation at \fBs\fR to
a \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR and stores it at \fBret\fR, or in a newly allocated \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR
if \fBret\fR is \s-1NULL.\s0
.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 \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR, \s-1NULL\s0 on error.
.PP
\&\fBBN_bn2binpad()\fR, \fBBN_signed_bn2bin()\fR, \fBBN_bn2lebinpad()\fR, \fBBN_signed_bn2lebin()\fR,
\&\fBBN_bn2nativepad()\fR, and_signed \fBBN_bn2native()\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 \s-1NULL\s0
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 \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\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 \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR, and \s-1NULL\s0 on error.
