ovpn_crypto_config_get(9)
π ovpn_crypto_config_get β a Kernel API Manual moment (section 9, bestie)
okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, you've got a crypto state just sitting there holding key data, and you need the non-sensitive bits of it out into a nice little object. that's this function. she's a getter. she gets. π
β¨ NAME β¨
ovpn_crypto_config_get β populate the keyconf object with non-sensible key data π
(and yes, "non-sensible" is exactly the word the kernel people chose, we are not questioning it, we are simply repeating it with love)
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
int ovpn_crypto_config_get (struct ovpn_crypto_state *cs , enum
ovpn_key_slot slot , struct ovpn_key_config *keyconf );
it's giving "returns an int", it's giving "function signature", it's giving everything honestly π¦
π«Ά ARGUMENTS π«Ά
csβ the crypto state you're extracting the key data from. the source of truth. the main character, lowkey πslotβ the specific slot you want to inspect. yes, specific. pick one. this one right here β¨keyconfβ the output object. she gets populated. that's her whole job π
β RETURN β
0on success π- or a negative error code otherwise π (so likeβ¦ check it, fr fr)
ngl bestie, a negative error code means something went sideways β don't just assume it worked, iykyk π
