Richard Levitte 153aecf91a It makes more sense to refer to specific function manuals than the concept
manual when the specific function is refered to in the current manual text.
This correction was originally introduced in OpenBSD's tracking of OpenSSL.

=head1 NAME
BN_add_word, BN_sub_word, BN_mul_word, BN_div_word, BN_mod_word - arithmetic
functions on BIGNUMs with integers
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/bn.h>
int BN_add_word(BIGNUM *a, BN_ULONG w);
int BN_sub_word(BIGNUM *a, BN_ULONG w);
int BN_mul_word(BIGNUM *a, BN_ULONG w);
BN_ULONG BN_div_word(BIGNUM *a, BN_ULONG w);
BN_ULONG BN_mod_word(const BIGNUM *a, BN_ULONG w);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
These functions perform arithmetic operations on BIGNUMs with unsigned
integers. They are much more efficient than the normal BIGNUM
arithmetic operations.
BN_add_word() adds B<w> to B<a> (C<a+=w>).
BN_sub_word() subtracts B<w> from B<a> (C<a-=w>).
BN_mul_word() multiplies B<a> and B<w> (C<a*=b>).
BN_div_word() divides B<a> by B<w> (C<a/=w>) and returns the remainder.
BN_mod_word() returns the remainder of B<a> divided by B<w> (C<a%m>).
For BN_div_word() and BN_mod_word(), B<w> must not be 0.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
BN_add_word(), BN_sub_word() and BN_mul_word() return 1 for success, 0
on error. The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>.
BN_mod_word() and BN_div_word() return B<a>%B<w>.
=head1 SEE ALSO
L<bn(3)|bn(3)>, L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>, L<BN_add(3)|BN_add(3)>
=head1 HISTORY
BN_add_word() and BN_mod_word() are available in all versions of
SSLeay and OpenSSL. BN_div_word() was added in SSLeay 0.8, and
BN_sub_word() and BN_mul_word() in SSLeay 0.9.0.
