BN_CTX_start(3SSL) OpenSSL BN_CTX_start(3SSL)NAME
BN_CTX_start, BN_CTX_get, BN_CTX_end - use temporary BIGNUM variables
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/bn.h>
void BN_CTX_start(BN_CTX *ctx);
BIGNUM *BN_CTX_get(BN_CTX *ctx);
void BN_CTX_end(BN_CTX *ctx);
DESCRIPTION
These functions are used to obtain temporary BIGNUM variables from a BN_CTX (which can been created by using BN_CTX_new(3)) in order to
save the overhead of repeatedly creating and freeing BIGNUMs in functions that are called from inside a loop.
A function must call BN_CTX_start() first. Then, BN_CTX_get() may be called repeatedly to obtain temporary BIGNUMs. All BN_CTX_get() calls
must be made before calling any other functions that use the ctx as an argument.
Finally, BN_CTX_end() must be called before returning from the function. When BN_CTX_end() is called, the BIGNUM pointers obtained from
BN_CTX_get() become invalid.
RETURN VALUES
BN_CTX_start() and BN_CTX_end() return no values.
BN_CTX_get() returns a pointer to the BIGNUM, or NULL on error. Once BN_CTX_get() has failed, the subsequent calls will return NULL as
well, so it is sufficient to check the return value of the last BN_CTX_get() call. In case of an error, an error code is set, which can be
obtained by ERR_get_error(3).
SEE ALSO BN_CTX_new(3)HISTORY
BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BN_CTX_end() were added in OpenSSL 0.9.5.

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.
main()

malloc(1gb)
return(0)
}
The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)
I see lot of ad-hoc shell scripts in our servers which don't have a shebang at the beginning .
Does this mean that it will run on any shell ?
Is it a good practice to create scripts (even ad-hoc ones) without shebang ? (16 Replies)
