+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This library performs arithmetic operations on integers of arbitrary
+size. It was written for use in public key cryptography, such as RSA
+and Diffie-Hellman.
+
+It uses dynamic memory allocation for storing its data structures.
+That means that there is no limit on the size of the numbers
+manipulated by these functions, but return values must always be
+checked in case a memory allocation error has occurred.
+
+The basic object in this library is a B<BIGNUM>. It is used to hold a
+single large integer. This type should be considered opaque and fields
+should not be modified or accessed directly.
+
+The creation of B<BIGNUM> objects is described in L<BN_new(3)|BN_new(3)>;
+L<BN_add(3)|BN_add(3)> describes most of the arithmetic operations.
+Comparison is described in L<BN_cmp(3)|BN_cmp(3)>; L<BN_zero(3)|BN_zero(3)>
+describes certain assignments, L<BN_rand(3)|BN_rand(3)> the generation of
+random numbers, L<BN_generate_prime(3)|BN_generate_prime(3)> deals with prime
+numbers and L<BN_set_bit(3)|BN_set_bit(3)> with bit operations. The conversion
+of B<BIGNUM>s to external formats is described in L<BN_bn2bin(3)|BN_bn2bin(3)>.
