BN_generate_prime_ex() generates a pseudo-random prime number of
-bit length B<bits>.
+at least bit length B<bits>.
If B<ret> is not B<NULL>, it will be used to store the number.
If B<cb> is not B<NULL>, it is used as follows:

+
+As of OpenSSL 1.1.0 it is no longer possible to create a BN_GENCB structure

+

=head1 HISTORY
-The B<cb_arg> arguments to BN_generate_prime() and to BN_is_prime()
-were added in SSLeay 0.9.0. The B<ret> argument to BN_generate_prime()
-was added in SSLeay 0.9.1.
-BN_is_prime_fasttest() was added in OpenSSL 0.9.5.
+BN_GENCB_new(), BN_GENCB_free(),
+and BN_GENCB_get_arg() were added in OpenSSL 1.1.0
