kpp_instance_ctx(9)

okay bestie, welcome to kpp_instance_ctx(9) from the Kernel API Manual — it’s literally the tiny helper that gets you a pointer to a &struct kpp_instance's implementation specific context data 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

kpp_instance_ctx — get a pointer to a &struct kpp_instance's implementation specific context data. That’s the whole assignment, no cap.

⚡ SYNOPSIS ⚡

void * kpp_instance_ctx (struct kpp_instance *inst );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• inst — the struct kpp_instance whose context data you wanna access. That’s the vibe, bestie 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here’s the tea: a KPP template implementation may allocate extra memory beyond the end of a struct kpp_instance instantiated from crypto_template.create. This function provides a means to obtain a pointer to this area. It’s giving “little doorway to the extra data” energy 😭✨

💖 RETURN 💖

A pointer to the implementation specific context data. That’s it — iconic, simple, done. Periodt. 👑
