\&\fIBN_cmp()\fR compares the numbers \fBa\fR and \fBb\fR. \fIBN_ucmp()\fR compares their
absolute values.
.PP
\&\fIBN_is_zero()\fR, \fIBN_is_one()\fR and \fIBN_is_word()\fR test if \fBa\fR equals 0, 1,
or \fBw\fR respectively. \fIBN_is_odd()\fR tests if a is odd.
.PP
\&\fIBN_is_zero()\fR, \fIBN_is_one()\fR, \fIBN_is_word()\fR and \fIBN_is_odd()\fR are macros.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fIBN_cmp()\fR returns \-1 if \fBa\fR < \fBb\fR, 0 if \fBa\fR == \fBb\fR and 1 if
\&\fBa\fR > \fBb\fR. \fIBN_ucmp()\fR is the same using the absolute values
of \fBa\fR and \fBb\fR.
.PP
\&\fIBN_is_zero()\fR, \fIBN_is_one()\fR \fIBN_is_word()\fR and \fIBN_is_odd()\fR return 1 if
the condition is true, 0 otherwise.
