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