BLOCK CIPHER CONTEXT DATA STRUCTURES(9)

💖 BLOCK CIPHER CONTEXT DATA STRUCTURES(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to section 9 of the Kernel API Manual — this is the Block Cipher Context Data Structures page and it's short but it's iconic 🎀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, these data structures? they define the operating context for each block cipher type 🦋

that's it. that's the whole vibe. each block cipher type gets its own operating context, and these structs are the blueprint for it. slay 💅

🌸 SEE ALSO 🌸

• the kernel file ./include/linux/crypto.h — yes, that one, go look at it bestie 👀
• Block Cipher Algorithm Definitions(9) 🔥
• struct cipher_alg(9) 💜
• struct crypto_alg(9) ⭐

fr fr, that's the entire page. short and sweet and lowkey iconic. no cap 🫶

mwah 💋 — this one's from the ./include/linux source, dated October 2026, and it's filed under Block Cipher Context Data Structures(9) in case you need to find it again. bye bestie, drink some water 💧💖
