SYNOPSIS

19        int BN_lshift(BIGNUM *r, const BIGNUM *a, int n);
20        int BN_lshift1(BIGNUM *r, BIGNUM *a);

23        int BN_rshift1(BIGNUM *r, BIGNUM *a);

DESCRIPTION

26       BN_set_bit() sets bit n in a to 1 ("a|=(1<<n)"). The number is expanded
27       if necessary.
28
29       BN_clear_bit() sets bit n in a to 0 ("a&=~(1<<n)"). An error occurs if
30       a is shorter than n bits.
31
32       BN_is_bit_set() tests if bit n in a is set.
33
34       BN_mask_bits() truncates a to an n bit number ("a&=~((~0)>>n)").  An
35       error occurs if a already is shorter than n bits.
36
37       BN_lshift() shifts a left by n bits and places the result in r
38       ("r=a*2^n"). Note that n must be non-negative. BN_lshift1() shifts a
39       left by one and places the result in r ("r=2*a").
40
41       BN_rshift() shifts a right by n bits and places the result in r
42       ("r=a/2^n"). Note that n must be non-negative. BN_rshift1() shifts a
43       right by one and places the result in r ("r=a/2").
44
45       For the shift functions, r and a may be the same variable.
46

RETURN VALUES

48       BN_is_bit_set() returns 1 if the bit is set, 0 otherwise.
49
50       All other functions return 1 for success, 0 on error. The error codes
51       can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3).
