25*2175Sjp161948=head1 DESCRIPTION
26*2175Sjp161948
27*2175Sjp161948BN_set_bit() sets bit B<n> in B<a> to 1 (C<a|=(1E<lt>E<lt>n)>). The
28*2175Sjp161948number is expanded if necessary.
29*2175Sjp161948
30*2175Sjp161948BN_clear_bit() sets bit B<n> in B<a> to 0 (C<a&=~(1E<lt>E<lt>n)>). An
31*2175Sjp161948error occurs if B<a> is shorter than B<n> bits.
32*2175Sjp161948
33*2175Sjp161948BN_is_bit_set() tests if bit B<n> in B<a> is set.
34*2175Sjp161948
35*2175Sjp161948BN_mask_bits() truncates B<a> to an B<n> bit number
36*2175Sjp161948(C<a&=~((~0)E<gt>E<gt>n)>).  An error occurs if B<a> already is
37*2175Sjp161948shorter than B<n> bits.
38*2175Sjp161948
39*2175Sjp161948BN_lshift() shifts B<a> left by B<n> bits and places the result in
40*2175Sjp161948B<r> (C<r=a*2^n>). BN_lshift1() shifts B<a> left by one and places
41*2175Sjp161948the result in B<r> (C<r=2*a>).
42*2175Sjp161948
43*2175Sjp161948BN_rshift() shifts B<a> right by B<n> bits and places the result in
44*2175Sjp161948B<r> (C<r=a/2^n>). BN_rshift1() shifts B<a> right by one and places
45*2175Sjp161948the result in B<r> (C<r=a/2>).
46*2175Sjp161948
47*2175Sjp161948For the shift functions, B<r> and B<a> may be the same variable.
48*2175Sjp161948
49*2175Sjp161948=head1 RETURN VALUES
50*2175Sjp161948
51*2175Sjp161948BN_is_bit_set() returns 1 if the bit is set, 0 otherwise.
52*2175Sjp161948
53*2175Sjp161948All other functions return 1 for success, 0 on error. The error codes
54*2175Sjp161948can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>.
