asymmetric_key_id_partial(9)

💖 asymmetric_key_id_partial(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this is the page for asymmetric_key_id_partial, and honestly? it's a whole vibe check for key IDs. 👑

---

✨ NAME ✨

asymmetric_key_id_partial — returns true if two asymmetric key IDs partially match 🫶

Like, they're not twins, they're not identical, but they're giving... related. iykyk.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool asymmetric_key_id_partial (const struct asymmetric_key_id *kid1 ,
const struct asymmetric_key_id *kid2 );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• kid1 — the key ID to compare 💅
• kid2 — the key ID to compare 💅

(yes bestie, they're both "the key ID to compare" — that's literally what the manual says, and the function is symmetric, so it's giving equality, not main-character-vs-sidekick. both of them are the key ID to compare. periodt.)

ngl bestie, be careful — "partial match" is not "same match". if you need actually identical, go see asymmetric_key_id_same(9). don't be out here assuming partial means full, that's not the vibe. 🙈
