💖 shishi_cipher_randomlen(3) — the shishi girlies' manual 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the shishi section 3 club 🎀 this whole page lives in the shishi manual, and today's main character is shishi_cipher_randomlen — she's an API function and she's literally so useful, no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

shishi_cipher_randomlen — API function 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <shishi.h>

size_t shishi_cipher_randomlen(int32_t type);

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. one include, one function call, slay ✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • int32_t type — the encryption type, bestie. see Shishi_etype for the deets 👑

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what does she actually do?? she gets the length of random data for the cipher. that's the assignment. that's the whole job. she's not doing the encryption, she's not generating the randomness, she's just telling you how much random data the cipher needs. lowkey iconic of her honestly 🫶

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

she returns the length of random used for the encryption type, as defined in the standards 📜 — or (size_t)-1 on error. and what counts as an error?? like, e.g., an unsupported encryption type 😭

so basically: real number = we're so back. (size_t)-1 = it's over. check your type, bestie 💀

🐛 REPORTING BUGS 🐛

found a bug?? not her being messy 🙈 report it to <bug-shishi@gnu.org>.
