Then, BN_CTX_get() may be called repeatedly to obtain temporary <b>BIGNUM</b>s. All BN_CTX_get() calls must be made before calling any other functions that use the <b>ctx</b> as an argument.</p> <p>Finally, BN_CTX_end() must be called before returning from the function. If <b>ctx</b> is NULL, nothing is done. When BN_CTX_end() is called, the <b>BIGNUM</b> pointers obtained from BN_CTX_get() become invalid.</p> <h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1> <p>BN_CTX_start() and BN_CTX_end() return no values.</p> <p>BN_CTX_get() returns a pointer to the <b>BIGNUM</b>, or <b>NULL</b> on error. Once BN_CTX_get() has failed, the subsequent calls will return <b>NULL</b> as well, so it is sufficient to check the return value of the last BN_CTX_get() call. In case of an error, an error code is set, which can be obtained by <a href="../man3/ERR_get_error.html">ERR_get_error(3)</a>.</p> <h1 id="SEE-ALSO">SEE ALSO</h1> <p><a href="../man3/BN_CTX_new.html">BN_CTX_new(3)</a></p> <h1 id="COPYRIGHT">COPYRIGHT</h1> <p>Copyright 2000-2019 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
