DESCRIPTION

       EC_POINT_add adds the two points a and b and places the result in r.
       Similarly EC_POINT_dbl doubles the point a and places the result in r.
       In both cases it is valid for r to be one of a or b.

       EC_POINT_invert calculates the inverse of the supplied point a. The
       result is placed back in a.

       The function EC_POINT_is_at_infinity tests whether the supplied point
       is at infinity or not.

       EC_POINT_is_on_curve tests whether the supplied point is on the curve
       or not.

       EC_POINT_cmp compares the two supplied points and tests whether or not
       they are equal.

       The functions EC_POINT_make_affine and EC_POINTs_make_affine force the
       internal representation of the EC_POINT(s) into the affine co-ordinate
       system. In the case of EC_POINTs_make_affine the value num provides the
       number of points in the array points to be forced.

       EC_POINT_mul calculates the value generator * n + q * m and stores the
       result in r. The value n may be NULL in which case the result is just q
       * m.

       EC_POINTs_mul calculates the value generator * n + q[0] * m[0] + ... +
       q[num-1] * m[num-1]. As for EC_POINT_mul the value n may be NULL.

       The function EC_GROUP_precompute_mult stores multiples of the generator
       for faster point multiplication, whilst EC_GROUP_have_precompute_mult
       tests whether precomputation has already been done. See
       EC_GROUP_copy(3) for information about the generator.

RETURN VALUES

       The following functions return 1 on success or 0 on error:
       EC_POINT_add, EC_POINT_dbl, EC_POINT_invert, EC_POINT_make_affine,
       EC_POINTs_make_affine, EC_POINTs_make_affine, EC_POINT_mul,
       EC_POINTs_mul and EC_GROUP_precompute_mult.

       EC_POINT_is_at_infinity returns 1 if the point is at infinity, or 0
       otherwise.

       EC_POINT_is_on_curve returns 1 if the point is on the curve, 0 if not,
       or -1 on error.

       EC_POINT_cmp returns 1 if the points are not equal, 0 if they are, or
       -1 on error.

       EC_GROUP_have_precompute_mult return 1 if a precomputation has been
       done, or 0 if not.
