<h1 id="NAME">NAME</h1>

<p>BN_CTX_new, BN_CTX_secure_new, BN_CTX_free - allocate and free BN_CTX structures</p>

<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>

<pre><code> #include &lt;openssl/bn.h&gt;

 BN_CTX *BN_CTX_new(void);

 BN_CTX *BN_CTX_secure_new(void);

 void BN_CTX_free(BN_CTX *c);</code></pre>

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>A <b>BN_CTX</b> is a structure that holds <b>BIGNUM</b> temporary variables used by library functions. Since dynamic memory allocation to create <b>BIGNUM</b>s is rather expensive when used in conjunction with repeated subroutine calls, the <b>BN_CTX</b> structure is used.</p>

<p>BN_CTX_new() allocates and initializes a <b>BN_CTX</b> structure. BN_CTX_secure_new() allocates and initializes a <b>BN_CTX</b> structure but uses the secure heap (see <a href="../man3/CRYPTO_secure_malloc.html">CRYPTO_secure_malloc(3)</a>) to hold the <b>BIGNUM</b>s.</p>

<p>BN_CTX_free() frees the components of the <b>BN_CTX</b> and the structure itself. Since BN_CTX_start() is required in order to obtain <b>BIGNUM</b>s from the <b>BN_CTX</b>, in most cases BN_CTX_end() must be called before the <b>BN_CTX</b> may be freed by BN_CTX_free(). If <b>c</b> is NULL, nothing is done.</p>

<p>A given <b>BN_CTX</b> must only be used by a single thread of execution. No locking is performed, and the internal pool allocator will not properly handle multiple threads of execution.</p>

<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>

<p>BN_CTX_new() and BN_CTX_secure_new() return a pointer to the <b>BN_CTX</b>. If the allocation fails, they return <b>NULL</b> and sets an error code that can be obtained by <a href="../man3/ERR_get_error.html">ERR_get_error(3)</a>.</p>

<p>BN_CTX_free() has no return values.</p>

<h1 id="REMOVED-FUNCTIONALITY">REMOVED FUNCTIONALITY</h1>

<pre><code> void BN_CTX_init(BN_CTX *c);</code></pre>

<p>BN_CTX_init() is no longer available as of OpenSSL 1.1.0. Applications should replace use of BN_CTX_init with BN_CTX_new instead:</p>

<pre><code> BN_CTX *ctx;
 ctx = BN_CTX_new();
 if (!ctx)
     /* error */
 ...
 BN_CTX_free(ctx);</code></pre>

<h1 id="HISTORY">HISTORY</h1>

<p>BN_CTX_init() was removed in OpenSSL 1.1.0.</p>
