asymmetric_key_id_same(9)
π asymmetric_key_id_same(9) β like, the whole vibe
okay so picture this: it's section 9 of the Kernel API Manual (yes, the kernel one, we're in the big leagues now π«Ά) and you've got two key IDs and one very important question β are they the same or not? That's it. That's the whole function. She's simple, she's iconic, she's asymmetric_key_id_same. β¨
πΈ NAME πΈ
asymmetric_key_id_same β returns true if two asymmetric keys IDs are the same, bestie. No cap, that's genuinely all she does and I'm obsessed. π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
bool asymmetric_key_id_same (const struct asymmetric_key_id *kid1 ,
const struct asymmetric_key_id *kid2 );
look at her. returns a bool, takes two const struct asymmetric_key_id * pointers, bless. π
β¨ ARGUMENTS β¨
kid1β the key ID to compare. yep. one of the two. πkid2β the key ID to compare. the other one. they're both literally described the same way and honestly? fair. π
both of them are the key ID to compare. that's the bit. don't overthink it, babe. π§
π₯ SEE ALSO π₯
your girl doesn't exist in a vacuum, so here's the friend group:
- Kernel file
./crypto/asymmetric_keys/asymmetric_type.cβ go read the source, it's giving main character energy π find_asymmetric_key(9)asymmetric_key_generate_id(9)asymmetric_key_id_partial(9)asymmetric_match_key_ids(9)asymmetric_key_hex_to_key_id(9)register_asymmetric_key_parser(9)unregister_asymmetric_key_parser(9)
that's the whole crew, no additions, no cuts, exactly eight plus the file path β i don't make the rules π
k bye, this was asymmetric_key_id_same(9) from ./crypto/asymmetric_keys, dated October 2026 β mwah, love u, go compare some key IDs responsibly ππβ
