BN_KRONECKER(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

BN_kronecker — Kronecker symbol. Bestie, this is the BN_KRONECKER(3) manual page, and it’s lowkey giving math-girlie main character energy. 💅✨

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Okay so here’s the exact shape of it, no cap:

#include <openssl/bn.h>

int
BN_kronecker(const BIGNUM *a, const BIGNUM *b, BN_CTX *ctx);

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

BN_kronecker() computes the Kronecker symbol (a | b), which generalizes the Legendre and Jacobi symbols for arbitrary integer numbers b. Literally iconic behavior — it’s out here handling the general case like a queen. 👑🦋

---

🎀 RETURN VALUES 🎀

BN_kronecker() returns -1, 0, or 1 in case of success — yes bestie, all three are success vibes — or -2 on error. That’s the whole return-value vibe check. 💀✅
