#include <openssl/bn.h> int BN_bn2bin(const BIGNUM *a, unsigned char *to); BIGNUM *BN_bin2bn(const unsigned char *s, int len, BIGNUM *ret); char *BN_bn2hex(const BIGNUM *a); char *BN_bn2dec(const BIGNUM *a); int BN_hex2bn(BIGNUM **a, const char *str); int BN_dec2bn(BIGNUM **a, const char *str); int BN_print(BIO *fp, const BIGNUM *a); int BN_print_fp(FILE *fp, const BIGNUM *a); int BN_bn2mpi(const BIGNUM *a, unsigned char *to); BIGNUM *BN_mpi2bn(unsigned char *s, int len, BIGNUM *ret);
DESCRIPTION
BN_bn2bin() converts the absolute value of a into big-endian form and stores it at to. to must point to BN_num_bytes(a) bytes of memory.BN_bin2bn() converts the positive integer in big-endian form of length len at s into a
BN_bn2hex() and BN_bn2dec() return printable strings containing the hexadecimal and decimal encoding of a respectively. For negative numbers, the string is prefaced with a leading '-'. The string must be freed later using OPENSSL_free().
BN_hex2bn() converts the string str containing a hexadecimal number to a
BN_print() and BN_print_fp() write the hexadecimal encoding of a, with a leading '-' for negative numbers, to the
BN_bn2mpi() and BN_mpi2bn() convert
BN_bn2mpi() stores the representation of a at to, where to must be large enough to hold the result. The size can be determined by calling BN_bn2mpi(a,
BN_mpi2bn() converts the len bytes long representation at s to a
RETURN VALUES
BN_bn2bin() returns the length of the big-endian number placed at to. BN_bin2bn() returns theBN_bn2hex() and BN_bn2dec() return a null-terminated string, or
BN_print_fp() and BN_print() return 1 on success, 0 on write errors.
BN_bn2mpi() returns the length of the representation. BN_mpi2bn() returns the
The error codes can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3).

BN_bn2bin(), BN_bin2bn(), BN_print_fp() and BN_print() are available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.BN_bn2hex(), BN_bn2dec(), BN_hex2bn(), BN_dec2bn(), BN_bn2mpi() and BN_mpi2bn() were added in SSLeay 0.9.0.
