💅 crypto_grab_kpp(9) ✨

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie — this page is giving “look up a KPP algorithm and bind a spawn to it,” and we’re gonna get you through it. 🫶 No cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

crypto_grab_kpp — look up a KPP algorithm and bind a spawn to it. Periodt. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int crypto_grab_kpp (struct crypto_kpp_spawn *spawn , struct crypto_instance *inst , const char *name , u32 type , u32 mask );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• spawn — the KPP spawn to bind. This is the thing you’re tying up. 🎀
• inst — the template instance that owns spawn. Main character energy: it’s the owner. 👑
• name — the KPP algorithm name to look up. Like searching the group chat for the right algorithm. 💬
• type — the type bitset to pass on to the lookup. Copy that exactly, bestie. 🫶
• mask — the mask bismask to pass on to the lookup. Yes, bismask — that’s literally what the page says, and we don’t gatekeep typos. 🙈

💖 RETURN 💖

0 on success — slay. A negative error code otherwise — not slay, but at least you know. 😭
