💅 ecryptfs_init_crypt_stat(9) — like, the whole kernel API manual page, bestie

okay so this is from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and the page is literally called ecryptfs_init_crypt_stat(9). buckle up, it's a short one but she's important 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ecryptfs_init_crypt_stat — and ngl the original manpage leaves the description totally blank?? iconique of it to give us nothing 😭 so we're just gonna go with: it initializes the crypt_stat thing. that's the whole vibe. moving on 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ecryptfs_init_crypt_stat (struct ecryptfs_crypt_stat *crypt_stat );

no return value, she just does her thing and dips. void queen. periodt 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • crypt_stat — a pointer to the struct ecryptfs_crypt_stat you want initialized. that's it, that's the whole argument. hand her the pointer and she'll set it up for you 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so basically: initialize the crypt_stat structure. that's the description. verbatim. the manpage said what it said and honestly? respect. lowkey the shortest description ever but it ate 💀

like, you give it the struct pointer, it initializes the struct. the way that this is the entire function. main character energy fr fr ✨

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this is where she REALLY shows out — the entire friend group, no skips. all of these live in the kernel file ./fs/ecryptfs/crypto.c:

iykyk — that's the full roster, not one of them skipped 💜

and that's the page!! sourced straight from ./fs/ecryptfs, dated October 2026, living under the Kernel API Manual umbrella. go initialize that struct bestie, you got this 🧚💖
