🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int akcipher_register_instance (struct crypto_template *tmpl , struct
       akcipher_instance *inst );

like, it takes two things and gives you back an int, that's the whole vibe ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• tmpl — the template from which the algorithm was created 🧚
• inst — the template instance 💫

that's it, that's the duo. main character energy from both of them fr fr 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea 🍓: this function registers an implementation of an asymmetric key algorithm created from a template. literally that's the whole job. it's giving "small function, big responsibility" and honestly? we love that for it 💅
