+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+BN_add() adds I<a> and I<b> and places the result in I<r> (C<r=a+b>).
+I<r> may be the same B<BIGNUM> as I<a> or I<b>.
+
+BN_sub() subtracts I<b> from I<a> and places the result in I<r> (C<r=a-b>).
+I<r> may be the same B<BIGNUM> as I<a> or I<b>.
+
+BN_mul() multiplies I<a> and I<b> and places the result in I<r> (C<r=a*b>).
+I<r> may be the same B<BIGNUM> as I<a> or I<b>.
+For multiplication by powers of 2, use L<BN_lshift(3)>.
+
+BN_sqr() takes the square of I<a> and places the result in I<r>
+(C<r=a^2>). I<r> and I<a> may be the same B<BIGNUM>.
+This function is faster than BN_mul(r,a,a).
+
+BN_div() divides I<a> by I<d> and places the result in I<dv> and the
+remainder in I<rem> (C<dv=a/d, rem=a%d>). Either of I<dv> and I<rem> may
+be B<NULL>, in which case the respective value is not returned.
+The result is rounded towards zero; thus if I<a> is negative, the
+remainder will be zero or negative.
+For division by powers of 2, use BN_rshift(3).
+
+BN_mod() corresponds to BN_div() with I<dv> set to B<NULL>.
+
+BN_nnmod() reduces I<a> modulo I<m> and places the non-negative
+remainder in I<r>.
+
+BN_mod_add() adds I<a> to I<b> modulo I<m> and places the non-negative
+result in I<r>.
+
+BN_mod_sub() subtracts I<b> from I<a> modulo I<m> and places the
+non-negative result in I<r>.
+
+BN_mod_mul() multiplies I<a> by I<b> and finds the non-negative
+remainder respective to modulus I<m> (C<r=(a*b) mod m>). I<r> may be
+the same B<BIGNUM> as I<a> or I<b>. For more efficient algorithms for
+repeated computations using the same modulus, see
+L<BN_mod_mul_montgomery(3)> and
+L<BN_mod_mul_reciprocal(3)>.
+
+BN_mod_sqr() takes the square of I<a> modulo B<m> and places the
+result in I<r>.
+
+BN_exp() raises I<a> to the I<p>-th power and places the result in I<r>
+(C<r=a^p>). This function is faster than repeated applications of
+BN_mul().
+
+BN_mod_exp() computes I<a> to the I<p>-th power modulo I<m> (C<r=a^p %
+m>). This function uses less time and space than BN_exp().
+
+BN_gcd() computes the greatest common divisor of I<a> and I<b> and
+places the result in I<r>. I<r> may be the same B<BIGNUM> as I<a> or
+I<b>.
+
+For all functions, I<ctx> is a previously allocated B<BN_CTX> used for
+temporary variables; see L<BN_CTX_new(3)>.
+
+Unless noted otherwise, the result B<BIGNUM> must be different from
+the arguments.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+For all functions, 1 is returned for success, 0 on error. The return
+value should always be checked (e.g., C<if (!BN_add(r,a,b)) goto err;>).
+The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
