=head1 SYNOPSIS =head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/bn.h> #include <openssl/bn.h>
int BN_cmp(BIGNUM *a, BIGNUM *b); int BN_cmp(const BIGNUM *a, const BIGNUM *b);
int BN_ucmp(BIGNUM *a, BIGNUM *b); int BN_ucmp(const BIGNUM *a, const BIGNUM *b);
int BN_is_zero(BIGNUM *a); int BN_is_zero(const BIGNUM *a);
int BN_is_one(BIGNUM *a); int BN_is_one(const BIGNUM *a);

=head1 DESCRIPTION =head1 DESCRIPTION
BN_cmp() compares the numbers B<a> and B<b>. BN_ucmp() compares their BN_cmp() compares the numbers I<a> and I<b>. BN_ucmp() compares their
absolute values. absolute values.
BN_is_zero(), BN_is_one() and BN_is_word() test if B<a> equals 0, 1, BN_is_zero(), BN_is_one(), BN_is_word() and BN_abs_is_word() test if
or B<w> respectively. BN_is_odd() tests if a is odd. I<a> equals 0, 1, I<w>, or E<verbar>I<w>E<verbar> respectively.
BN_is_odd() tests if I<a> is odd.
BN_is_zero(), BN_is_one(), BN_is_word() and BN_is_odd() are macros.
=head1 RETURN VALUES =head1 RETURN VALUES
BN_cmp() returns -1 if B<a> E<lt> B<b>, 0 if B<a> == B<b> and 1 if BN_cmp() returns -1 if I<a> E<lt> I<b>, 0 if I<a> == I<b> and 1 if
B<a> E<gt> B<b>. BN_ucmp() is the same using the absolute values I<a> E<gt> I<b>. BN_ucmp() is the same using the absolute values
of B<a> and B<b>. of I<a> and I<b>.
BN_is_zero(), BN_is_one() BN_is_word() and BN_is_odd() return 1 if BN_is_zero(), BN_is_one() BN_is_word(), BN_abs_is_word() and
the condition is true, 0 otherwise. BN_is_odd() return 1 if the condition is true, 0 otherwise.
=head1 HISTORY
Prior to OpenSSL 1.1.0, BN_is_zero(), BN_is_one(), BN_is_word(),
BN_abs_is_word() and BN_is_odd() were macros.
