ecryptfs_process_flags(9)

💅 ecryptfs_process_flags(9) 💅

okay so bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual page for ecryptfs_process_flags(9) — section 9, no cap. The original NAME line is literally just ecryptfs_process_flags - with a dash and zero description after it, so I’m not inventing any lore. 💀

🎀 NAME 🎀

ecryptfs_process_flags — and the original leaves the one-liner blank after the dash. That’s the whole vibe. 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

The signature is right here, copied exactly:

void ecryptfs_process_flags (struct ecryptfs_crypt_stat *crypt_stat ,
       char *page_virt , int *bytes_read );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• crypt_stat — the cryptographic context, aka the crypto context situation. 🔐
• page_virt — the source data to be parsed; this is the stuff going into the parser. 📥
• bytes_read — gets updated with the number of bytes read. It’s the byte counter that comes back changed. 🔢
