ecc_point_is_zero(9)

💖 ecc_point_is_zero(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, we're literally about to vibe check an elliptic curve point 🌸 this one's a tiny little function but it's iconic in its own way, trust.

---

✨ NAME ✨

ecc_point_is_zero — check if point is zero. that's it. that's the whole job. she's simple, she's elegant, she slays 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool ecc_point_is_zero (const struct ecc_point *point );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• point — the point you want to check for zero. like, you hand her a point and she tells you if it's giving nothing. zero energy. the void. 🫶

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

true if point is the point at infinity — yes, infinity counts as "zero" here, no cap, that's just how it is 😭 — and false otherwise.

so like: true = she's at infinity, false = she's a real one with actual coordinates. periodt 💜

ngl the whole extended family lives in ./include/crypto/internal and this page is dated October 2026 — so yeah, that's the source, the directory, and the date, all accounted for 💖

okay bye bestie, go check your points, stay zero-aware, mwah 🍓🌈👑
