+=head1 NAME
+
+BN_new, BN_secure_new, BN_clear, BN_free, BN_clear_free - allocate and free BIGNUMs
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/bn.h>
+
+ BIGNUM *BN_new(void);
+
+ BIGNUM *BN_secure_new(void);
+
+ void BN_clear(BIGNUM *a);
+
+ void BN_free(BIGNUM *a);
+
+ void BN_clear_free(BIGNUM *a);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+BN_new() allocates and initializes a B<BIGNUM> structure.
+BN_secure_new() does the same except that the secure heap
+OPENSSL_secure_malloc(3) is used to store the value.
+
+BN_clear() is used to destroy sensitive data such as keys when they
+are no longer needed. It erases the memory used by B<a> and sets it
+to the value 0.
+
+BN_free() frees the components of the B<BIGNUM>, and if it was created
+by BN_new(), also the structure itself. BN_clear_free() additionally
+overwrites the data before the memory is returned to the system.
+If B<a> is NULL, nothing is done.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+BN_new() and BN_secure_new()
+return a pointer to the B<BIGNUM> initialised to the value 0.
+If the allocation fails,
+they return B<NULL> and set an error code that can be obtained
+by L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
+
+BN_clear(), BN_free() and BN_clear_free() have no return values.
+

+L<ERR_get_error(3)>
+
+=head1 HISTORY
+
+BN_init() was removed in OpenSSL 1.1.0; use BN_new() instead.
