.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBBN_copy()\fR copies \fBfrom\fR to \fBto\fR. \fBBN_dup()\fR creates a new \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR
containing the value \fBfrom\fR.
.PP
BN_with_flags creates a \fBtemporary\fR shallow copy of \fBb\fR in \fBdest\fR. It places
significant restrictions on the copied data. Applications that do no adhere to
these restrictions may encounter unexpected side effects or crashes. For that
reason use of this function is discouraged. Any flags provided in \fBflags\fR will
be set in \fBdest\fR in addition to any flags already set in \fBb\fR. For example this
might commonly be used to create a temporary copy of a \s-1BIGNUM\s0 with the
\&\fB\s-1BN_FLG_CONSTTIME\s0\fR flag set for constant time operations. The temporary copy in
\&\fBdest\fR will share some internal state with \fBb\fR. For this reason the following
restrictions apply to the use of \fBdest\fR:
.IP "\(bu" 2
\&\fBdest\fR should be a newly allocated \s-1BIGNUM\s0 obtained via a call to \fBBN_new()\fR. It
should not have been used for other purposes or initialised in any way.
.IP "\(bu" 2
\&\fBdest\fR must only be used in \*(L"read-only\*(R" operations, i.e. typically those
functions where the relevant parameter is declared \*(L"const\*(R".
.IP "\(bu" 2
\&\fBdest\fR must be used and freed before any further subsequent use of \fBb\fR
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBBN_copy()\fR returns \fBto\fR on success, \s-1NULL\s0 on error. \fBBN_dup()\fR returns
the new \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0\fR, and \s-1NULL\s0 on error. The error codes can be obtained
by \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
