25=head1 DESCRIPTION
26
27BN_set_bit() sets bit B<n> in B<a> to 1 (C<a|=(1E<lt>E<lt>n)>). The
28number is expanded if necessary.
29
30BN_clear_bit() sets bit B<n> in B<a> to 0 (C<a&=~(1E<lt>E<lt>n)>). An
31error occurs if B<a> is shorter than B<n> bits.
32
33BN_is_bit_set() tests if bit B<n> in B<a> is set.
34
35BN_mask_bits() truncates B<a> to an B<n> bit number
36(C<a&=~((~0)E<lt>E<lt>n)>). An error occurs if B<n> is negative. An error is
37also returned if the internal representation of B<a> is already shorter than
38B<n> bits. The internal representation depends on the platform's word size, and
39this error can be safely ignored. Use L<BN_num_bits(3)> to determine the exact
40number of bits if needed.
41
42BN_lshift() shifts B<a> left by B<n> bits and places the result in
43B<r> (C<r=a*2^n>). Note that B<n> must be nonnegative. BN_lshift1() shifts
44B<a> left by one and places the result in B<r> (C<r=2*a>).
45
46BN_rshift() shifts B<a> right by B<n> bits and places the result in
47B<r> (C<r=a/2^n>). Note that B<n> must be nonnegative. BN_rshift1() shifts
48B<a> right by one and places the result in B<r> (C<r=a/2>).
49
50For the shift functions, B<r> and B<a> may be the same variable.
51
52=head1 RETURN VALUES
53
54BN_is_bit_set() returns 1 if the bit is set, 0 otherwise.
55
56All other functions return 1 for success, 0 on error. The error codes
57can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
