okay so bestie, this little page comes straight from the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about one very specific registration moment. π¦β¨
β¨ NAME β¨
The name line is literally crypto_register_sig - - Register public key signature algorithm β that's the whole vibe. π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
int crypto_register_sig (struct sig_alg *alg );
that's the signature, no hidden extra args, no sneaky little surprises hiding in the margins π«Ά
π ARGUMENTS π
algβ algorithm definition. that's it, that's the whole argument list, and honestly we love a concise queen π
π₯ DESCRIPTION π₯
okay so here's the tea: this function registers an implementation of a public key signature algorithm. no cap, that's the exact description β no secret lore, no extra plot twists. πβ¨
π RETURN π
- zero on success; error code in case of error.
fr fr that's the whole return contract: zero means slay, error code means something went sideways. ππ
