ovpn_crypto_config_get(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… 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. πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

ovpn_crypto_config_get β€” populate the keyconf object with non-sensible key data πŸ’–

(and yes, "non-sensible" is exactly the word the kernel people chose, we are not questioning it, we are simply repeating it with love)


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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 πŸ¦‹


🫢 ARGUMENTS 🫢

  • cs β€” the crypto state you're extracting the key data from. the source of truth. the main character, lowkey πŸ‘‘
  • slot β€” the specific slot you want to inspect. yes, specific. pick one. this one right here ✨
  • keyconf β€” the output object. she gets populated. that's her whole job πŸ’…

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • 0 on success πŸŽ‰
  • or a negative error code otherwise 😭 (so like… check it, fr fr)
ngl bestie, a negative error code means something went sideways β€” don't just assume it worked, iykyk πŸ™ˆ
