blake2s_init(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, this is blake2s_init(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the setup ritual for a BLAKE2s context: it initializes one for a brand-new message, unkeyed style. No key, no drama — that's the whole point, iykyk 💅✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void blake2s_init (struct blake2s_ctx *ctx , size_t outlen );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ctx — the context to initialize. Bestie, this is the main character 🫶
• outlen — length of the output hash value in bytes, at most BLAKE2S_HASH_SIZE. Do not exceed that cap, fr fr 😭

💅 CONTEXT 💅

Any context. That's the vibe check, and it passes 💅✨
