It erases the memory used by B and sets it +to the value 0. + +BN_free() frees the components of the B, 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 is NULL, nothing is done. + +=head1 RETURN VALUES + +BN_new() and BN_secure_new() +return a pointer to the B initialised to the value 0. +If the allocation fails, +they return B and set an error code that can be obtained +by L. + +BN_clear(), BN_free() and BN_clear_free() have no return values. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L + +=head1 HISTORY + +BN_init() was removed in OpenSSL 1.1.0; use BN_new() instead. + +=head1 COPYRIGHT + +Copyright 2000-2017 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
