mpi:toBinaryLE

Cipher/MPI Core4 Lua Commands

SYNOPSIS

  1. str = mpi:toBinaryLE([size])
  2. str = mpi:toBinaryBE([size])

DESCRIPTION

The Core4 system includes a copy of mbed TLS.

Converts the stored number into binary format, using size bytes. When not specified, uses the size of the bignum container itself.

RETURN VALUE

Returns a string on success.

In case of an error returns three values: nil, a string describing the error and a negative error code from the underlying mbed TLS implementation.

ERRORS

If size is too small, returns the error MBEDTLS_ERR_MPI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL (-8).
