crypto_spawn_kpp(9)

🦋 crypto_spawn_kpp — Kernel API Manual moment ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for crypto_spawn_kpp(9). it's giving “tiny function, very important crypto spawn business” and we're gonna get into it 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

crypto_spawn_kpp — Create a transform from a KPP spawn.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct crypto_kpp * crypto_spawn_kpp (struct crypto_kpp_spawn *spawn );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• spawn — the spawn that was previously bound to some struct kpp_alg via crypto_grab_kpp.

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so picture this: you've got a struct crypto_kpp_spawn, and it has already been successfully bound to a struct kpp_alg via crypto_grab_kpp. Once that's done, transforms for the latter may get instantiated from the former by means of this function. that's the whole vibe, no cap ✨

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

A pointer to the freshly created KPP transform on success, or an ERR_PTR otherwise. that's it, that's the return 💀
