144=head1 DESCRIPTION
145
146This library performs arithmetic operations on integers of arbitrary
147size. It was written for use in public key cryptography, such as RSA
148and Diffie-Hellman.
149
150It uses dynamic memory allocation for storing its data structures.
151That means that there is no limit on the size of the numbers
152manipulated by these functions, but return values must always be
153checked in case a memory allocation error has occurred.
154
155The basic object in this library is a B<BIGNUM>. It is used to hold a
156single large integer. This type should be considered opaque and fields
157should not be modified or accessed directly.
158
159The creation of B<BIGNUM> objects is described in L<BN_new(3)|BN_new(3)>;
160L<BN_add(3)|BN_add(3)> describes most of the arithmetic operations.
161Comparison is described in L<BN_cmp(3)|BN_cmp(3)>; L<BN_zero(3)|BN_zero(3)>
162describes certain assignments, L<BN_rand(3)|BN_rand(3)> the generation of
163random numbers, L<BN_generate_prime(3)|BN_generate_prime(3)> deals with prime
164numbers and L<BN_set_bit(3)|BN_set_bit(3)> with bit operations. The conversion
165of B<BIGNUM>s to external formats is described in L<BN_bn2bin(3)|BN_bn2bin(3)>.
