+BN_new() allocates and initializes a B<BIGNUM> structure. BN_init()
initializes an existing uninitialized B<BIGNUM>.
BN_clear() is used to destroy sensitive data such as keys when they
BN_new() returns a pointer to the B<BIGNUM>. If the allocation fails,
it returns B<NULL> and sets an error code that can be obtained
-by ERR_get_error(3).
+by L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>.
BN_init(), BN_clear(), BN_free() and BN_clear_free() have no return
values.
