caam_blob_gen_init(9)

💖 NAME 💖

Hiii bestie 💖 welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for caam_blob_gen_init(9) — the init bestie for blob generation. Yes, it's literally called caam_blob_gen_init, and yes, it's giving "initialize blob generation" main character energy ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here's the exact signature, no cap — copy it character for character:

struct caam_blob_priv * caam_blob_gen_init (void );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• void — no arguments. Zero. None. The empty-args vibe is intentional, periodt 🎀

🔥 RETURN 🔥

On success, you get a pointer to a new struct caam_blob_priv instance. Slay 💅

But if CAAM has no hardware blobbing support, or if no job ring could be allocated, you get ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) instead. That's the fail vibe, fr fr 😭
