.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBBN_cmp()\fR compares the numbers \fIa\fR and \fIb\fR. \fBBN_ucmp()\fR compares their
absolute values.
.PP
\&\fBBN_is_zero()\fR, \fBBN_is_one()\fR, \fBBN_is_word()\fR and \fBBN_abs_is_word()\fR test if
\&\fIa\fR equals 0, 1, \fIw\fR, or |\fIw\fR| respectively.
\&\fBBN_is_odd()\fR tests if \fIa\fR is odd.
.PP
\&\fBBN_are_coprime()\fR determines if \fBa\fR and \fBb\fR are coprime.
\&\fBctx\fR is used internally for storing temporary variables.
The values of \fBa\fR and \fBb\fR and \fBctx\fR must not be \s-1NULL.\s0
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBBN_cmp()\fR returns \-1 if \fIa\fR < \fIb\fR, 0 if \fIa\fR == \fIb\fR and 1 if
\&\fIa\fR > \fIb\fR. \fBBN_ucmp()\fR is the same using the absolute values
of \fIa\fR and \fIb\fR.
.PP
\&\fBBN_is_zero()\fR, \fBBN_is_one()\fR \fBBN_is_word()\fR, \fBBN_abs_is_word()\fR and
\&\fBBN_is_odd()\fR return 1 if the condition is true, 0 otherwise.
.PP
\&\fBBN_are_coprime()\fR returns 1 if the \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR's are coprime, otherwise it
returns 0.
.SH "HISTORY"
.IX Header "HISTORY"
Prior to OpenSSL 1.1.0, \fBBN_is_zero()\fR, \fBBN_is_one()\fR, \fBBN_is_word()\fR,
\&\fBBN_abs_is_word()\fR and \fBBN_is_odd()\fR were macros.
.PP
The function \fBBN_are_coprime()\fR was added in OpenSSL 3.1.
