=head1 NAME
BN_set_bit, BN_clear_bit, BN_is_bit_set, BN_mask_bits, BN_lshift,
BN_lshift1, BN_rshift, BN_rshift1 - bit operations on BIGNUMs
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/bn.h>
int BN_set_bit(BIGNUM *a, int n);
int BN_clear_bit(BIGNUM *a, int n);
int BN_is_bit_set(const BIGNUM *a, int n);
int BN_mask_bits(BIGNUM *a, int n);
int BN_lshift(BIGNUM *r, const BIGNUM *a, int n);
int BN_lshift1(BIGNUM *r, BIGNUM *a);
int BN_rshift(BIGNUM *r, BIGNUM *a, int n);
int BN_rshift1(BIGNUM *r, BIGNUM *a);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
BN_set_bit() sets bit B<n> in B<a> to 1 (C<a|=(1E<lt>E<lt>n)>). The
number is expanded if necessary.
BN_clear_bit() sets bit B<n> in B<a> to 0 (C<a&=~(1E<lt>E<lt>n)>). An
error occurs if B<a> is shorter than B<n> bits.
BN_is_bit_set() tests if bit B<n> in B<a> is set.
BN_mask_bits() truncates B<a> to an B<n> bit number
(C<a&=~((~0)E<gt>E<gt>n)>). An error occurs if B<a> already is
shorter than B<n> bits.
BN_lshift() shifts B<a> left by B<n> bits and places the result in
B<r> (C<r=a*2^n>). Note that B<n> must be non-negative. BN_lshift1() shifts
B<a> left by one and places the result in B<r> (C<r=2*a>).
BN_rshift() shifts B<a> right by B<n> bits and places the result in
B<r> (C<r=a/2^n>). Note that B<n> must be non-negative. BN_rshift1() shifts
B<a> right by one and places the result in B<r> (C<r=a/2>).
For the shift functions, B<r> and B<a> may be the same variable.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
BN_is_bit_set() returns 1 if the bit is set, 0 otherwise.
All other functions return 1 for success, 0 on error. The error codes
can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
