✨ crypto_aead_reqsize(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this one's crypto_aead_reqsize, and it's honestly one of the chillest little functions in the whole crypto corner of the kernel 🎀 she's one job and one job only, and she does it.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

crypto_aead_reqsize — literally just tells you the size of the request data structure 💅 no cap, that's the whole vibe.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

unsigned int crypto_aead_reqsize (struct crypto_aead *tfm );

like... one argument, one return type, zero drama. iconic behavior honestly.

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• tfm — your cipher handle 🫶 that's it, that's the whole input. she just wants the handle, she's lowkey easy to please.

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

returns the number of bytes 💖 (number of bytes — the size of the request data structure, bestie, that's what we came for).

---

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

okay this list is LONG but every single one of these matters, so let's go, no skipping, we don't do that here:

like look at her, she's got the whole AEAD friend group in her contacts 😭 every alloc, every free, every setter, every setter's cousin — all accounted for. main character energy fr fr 💀

also quick reminder: everything above is exactly as written in the original — I didn't merge anything, didn't "fix" anything, didn't invent options. if it's listed, it's listed. periodt.
