.... Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.
If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.
Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

Title "BN_CTX_NEW 3ossl"
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
\fBBN_CTX_new_ex() allocates and initializes a \s-1BN_CTX\s0 structure for the given library context ctx. The <ctx> value may be \s-1NULL\s0 in which case the default library context will be used. BN_CTX_new() is the same as BN_CTX_new_ex() except that the default library context is always used.
\fBBN_CTX_secure_new_ex() allocates and initializes a \s-1BN_CTX\s0 structure but uses the secure heap (see CRYPTO_secure_malloc\|(3)) to hold the \fB\s-1BIGNUM\s0s for the given library context ctx. The <ctx> value may be \s-1NULL\s0 in which case the default library context will be used. BN_CTX_secure_new() is the same as BN_CTX_secure_new_ex() except that the default library context is always used.
\fBBN_CTX_free() frees the components of the \s-1BN_CTX\s0 and the structure itself. Since BN_CTX_start() is required in order to obtain \s-1BIGNUM\s0s from the \fB\s-1BN_CTX\s0, in most cases BN_CTX_end() must be called before the \s-1BN_CTX\s0 may be freed by BN_CTX_free(). If c is \s-1NULL,\s0 nothing is done.
A given \s-1BN_CTX\s0 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.
\fBBN_CTX_free() has no return values.
\fBBN_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:
.Vb 6 BN_CTX *ctx; ctx = BN_CTX_new(); if (!ctx) /* error */ ... BN_CTX_free(ctx); .Ve
