.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fIBN_mod_mul_reciprocal()\fR can be used to perform an efficient
\&\fIBN_mod_mul\fR\|(3) operation when the operation will be performed
repeatedly with the same modulus. It computes \fBr\fR=(\fBa\fR*\fBb\fR)%\fBm\fR
using \fBrecp\fR=1/\fBm\fR, which is set as described below. \fBctx\fR is a
previously allocated \fB\s-1BN_CTX\s0\fR used for temporary variables.
.PP
\&\fIBN_RECP_CTX_new()\fR allocates and initializes a \fB\s-1BN_RECP\s0\fR structure.
\&\fIBN_RECP_CTX_init()\fR initializes an existing uninitialized \fB\s-1BN_RECP\s0\fR.
.PP
\&\fIBN_RECP_CTX_free()\fR frees the components of the \fB\s-1BN_RECP\s0\fR, and, if it
was created by \fIBN_RECP_CTX_new()\fR, also the structure itself.
.PP
\&\fIBN_RECP_CTX_set()\fR stores \fBm\fR in \fBrecp\fR and sets it up for computing
1/\fBm\fR and shifting it left by BN_num_bits(\fBm\fR)+1 to make it an
integer. The result and the number of bits it was shifted left will
later be stored in \fBrecp\fR.
.PP
\&\fIBN_div_recp()\fR divides \fBa\fR by \fBm\fR using \fBrecp\fR. It places the quotient
in \fBdv\fR and the remainder in \fBrem\fR.
.PP
The \fB\s-1BN_RECP_CTX\s0\fR structure is defined as follows:
.PP
.Vb 8
\& typedef struct bn_recp_ctx_st
\& {
\& BIGNUM N; /* the divisor */
\& BIGNUM Nr; /* the reciprocal */
\& int num_bits;
\& int shift;
\& int flags;
\& } BN_RECP_CTX;
.Ve
.PP
It cannot be shared between threads.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fIBN_RECP_CTX_new()\fR returns the newly allocated \fB\s-1BN_RECP_CTX\s0\fR, and \s-1NULL\s0
on error.
.PP
\&\fIBN_RECP_CTX_init()\fR and \fIBN_RECP_CTX_free()\fR have no return values.
.PP
For the other functions, 1 is returned for success, 0 on error.
The error codes can be obtained by \fIERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.IX Header "SEE ALSO"
\&\fIbn\fR\|(3), \fIERR_get_error\fR\|(3), \fIBN_add\fR\|(3),
\&\fIBN_CTX_new\fR\|(3)
.SH "HISTORY"
.IX Header "HISTORY"
\&\fB\s-1BN_RECP_CTX\s0\fR was added in SSLeay 0.9.0. Before that, the function
\&\fIBN_reciprocal()\fR was used instead, and the \fIBN_mod_mul_reciprocal()\fR
arguments were different.
