=head1 DESCRIPTION
calls, the B<BN_CTX> structure is used.
BN_CTX_new() allocates and initializes a B<BN_CTX>
-structure. BN_CTX_init() initializes an existing uninitialized
-B<BN_CTX>.
+structure.
BN_CTX_free() frees the components of the B<BN_CTX>, and if it was
created by BN_CTX_new(), also the structure itself.
+If L<BN_CTX_start(3)|BN_CTX_start(3)> has been used on the B<BN_CTX>,
+L<BN_CTX_end(3)|BN_CTX_end(3)> must be called before the B<BN_CTX>
+may be freed by BN_CTX_free().
+
+BN_CTX_init() (deprecated) initializes an existing uninitialized B<BN_CTX>.
+This should not be used for new programs. Use BN_CTX_new() instead.
