ecryptfs_cip...de_to_string(9)

💅 NAME

ecryptfs_cipher_code_to_string — bestie, this is the little function that turns a cipher code into an actual readable cipher name string. That's it, that's the whole vibe ✨ (the manpage literally gives no extra description, so no cap, we're not making one up)

🌸 SYNOPSIS

int ecryptfs_cipher_code_to_string (char *str , size_t size , u8 cipher_code );

🎀 ARGUMENTS

• str — the destination where the cipher name gets written out 🫶 like, this is where the pretty string goes
• size — how big that destination buffer is, so we don't get messy 💅
• cipher_code — the code (a u8, yes) that we're converting into the cipher name string

🦋 DESCRIPTION

Returns zero on success 😌 that's the whole deal. Zero = we ate. Periodt 💖
