πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, this page comes from the Kernel API Manual, and the main character is split_key_pad_len β€” it literally computes the MDHA split key pad length for a given algorithm. that's the vibe ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

u32 split_key_pad_len (u32 hash );

πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • hash β€” Hashing algorithm selection, one of OP_ALG_ALGSEL_* β€” MD5, SHA1, SHA224, SHA384, SHA512. so yeah, you're picking which hash algorithm this is for, iykyk πŸ”₯

πŸ’– RETURN πŸ’–

MDHA split key pad length. that's what it returns, periodt πŸ’…
