ocs_hcu_hw_cfg(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay bestie, so this little cutie is ocs_hcu_hw_cfg(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and she's the one who sets up your HCU hardware. literally the getting-ready-with-me of kernel calls 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

ocs_hcu_hw_cfg — configure the HCU hardware. that's it, that's the whole vibe. she configures. periodt. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ocs_hcu_hw_cfg (struct ocs_hcu_dev *hcu_dev , enum ocs_hcu_algo algo
, bool use_hmac );

like, she takes three things and gives you back an int. no cap, that's the whole signature. 🫶

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • hcu_dev — the HCU device you wanna configure, bestie. the one. the main character. 👑
  • algo — the algorithm the HCU device is gonna be using. which one? that's between you and enum ocs_hcu_algo. 🧚
  • use_hmac — a bool asking the real questions: are we using HW HMAC or not? yes or no, no in-between. 💀

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • 0 — slay, it worked, success. 🎉
  • negative error code — not slay. something went wrong, and that's the tea. 😭

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

the whole friend group, fr fr — they're all in the kernel file ./drivers/crypto/intel/keembay/ocs-hcu.c:

like go read those too, they're iconic, iykyk. 🌈

lowkey reminder: she returns 0 on success and a negative error code otherwise — so always vibe check that return value, bestie. don't just ignore it. 🙈

that's the whole page, mwah 💋 — brought to you by ./drivers/crypto/intel/keembay, October 2026, and of course our girl ocs_hcu_hw_cfg(9). see you in the kernel, bestie 🍓✨
