DESCRIPTION
IPint provides the following arbitrary-length integer manipulation
functions required for cryptographic support in Limbo:
i.iptob64()
Returns a string that represents a large integer textually in
base 64 for convenient transmission over a network connection.
i.iptob64z()
Returns a similar representation to iptob64 but ensures that the
top bit of the received value is zero.
b64toip(str)
Returns the IPint represented by the base-64 encoded str.
i.iptobytes()
Returns an array of bytes representing a large integer. The rep‐
resentation includes both positive and negative numbers.
bytestoip(buf)
The inverse operation of iptobytes.
i.iptobebytes()
Returns an array of bytes in big-endian format representing the
magnitude of a large integer; used for instance to pass a value
to ssl(3). Only non-negative numbers are represented.
bebytestoip(buf)
The inverse operation of iptobebytes.
inttoip(i)
Creates a new large integer from integer i.
i.iptoint()
Converts a large integer i to an int; returns 0 on error.
i.iptostr(base)
Converts a large integer to a string in base base; returns nil
on error. Only the bases 10, 16, 32, and 64 are supported.
Anything else defaults to 16.
strtoip(str,base)
Converts a string str representing a number in in base base to a
large integer; returns nil on error. Only the bases 10, 16, 32,
and 64 are supported.
random(nbits)
Returns a large random number of length at most minbits. The
largest number allowed in the current implementation is 2^8192-1
. The seed for the generator is obtained by duelling clocks.
i.copy()
Returns a reference to the same value as i.
i.bits()
Returns the number of bits of precision of i.
base.expmod(exp , mod)
Returns (base**exp) mod mod.
i1.add(i2)
Returns (i1+i2).
i1.sub(i2)
Returns (i1-i2).
i1.mul(i2)
Returns i1*i2.
i1.div(i2)
Returns (i1/i2, i1remi2).
i1.mod(i2)
Returns (i1modi2).
i1.eq(i2)
Returns 1 if i1 and i2 are equal; 0 otherwise.
i1.cmp(i2)
Compares two large integers, returning 1 if i1 is larger, -1 if
i2 is larger, and 0 if they are equal.
i.shl(n)
Returns i<<n
i.shr(n)
Returns i>>n
i1.and(i2)
Returns i&n, bitwise AND
i1.ori(i2)
Returns i|n, bitwise inclusive-OR (it is ori because plain or is
a Limbo keyword)
i.not()
Returns ~i, bitwise ones-complement
i1.xor(i2)
Returns i^n, bitwise exclusive-OR
