NAME

6       BN_mod_inverse - compute inverse modulo n
7

SYNOPSIS

9        #include <openssl/bn.h>
10
11        BIGNUM *BN_mod_inverse(BIGNUM *r, BIGNUM *a, const BIGNUM *n,
12                               BN_CTX *ctx);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       BN_mod_inverse() computes the inverse of a modulo n places the result
16       in r ("(a*r)%n==1"). If r is NULL, a new BIGNUM is created.
17
18       ctx is a previously allocated BN_CTX used for temporary variables. r
19       may be the same BIGNUM as a or n.
20

RETURN VALUES

22       BN_mod_inverse() returns the BIGNUM containing the inverse, and NULL on
23       error. The error codes can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3).
