-EC_POINT_mul calculates the value generator * \fBn\fR + \fBq\fR * \fBm\fR and stores the result in \fBr\fR. The value \fBn\fR may be \s-1NULL\s0 in which case the result is just \fBq\fR * \fBm\fR.
+EC_POINT_mul is a convenient interface to EC_POINTs_mul: it calculates the value generator * \fBn\fR + \fBq\fR * \fBm\fR and stores the result in \fBr\fR.
+The value \fBn\fR may be \s-1NULL\s0 in which case the result is just \fBq\fR * \fBm\fR (variable point multiplication). Alternatively, both \fBq\fR and \fBm\fR may be \s-1NULL,\s0 and \fBn\fR non-NULL, in which case the result is just generator * \fBn\fR (fixed point multiplication).
+When performing a single fixed or variable point multiplication, the underlying implementation uses a constant time algorithm, when the input scalar (either \fBn\fR or \fBm\fR) is in the range [0, ec_group_order).
