STRUCT AES_GCM_KEY(9)

✨ struct aes_gcm_key ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the glow-up of struct aes_gcm_key — the kernel API manual page, but make it group chat 💅 this lives in the Kernel API Manual, so you already know it's giving serious main character energy 🔥

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct aes_gcm_key — a key that's been prepared for AES-GCM encryption and decryption 🔐✨

like, it's not just any key, it's a key that went to the gym and got ready for AES-GCM specifically, you know? iykyk 💖

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

here's the whole vibe, verbatim, no cap:

struct aes_gcm_key {
};

yes bestie that's literally it — the struct is iconic in its minimalism 😭 an empty body, serving absolutely nothing on the inside but still out here being a whole named type 🫶

---

🦋 Members 🦋

okay so this is the part where you'd expect a delicious little list of members and... there are none listed 💀 nothing. zero. the void. the Members section is giving empty group chat at 3am 🌙

so don't come for me asking what's inside — the page doesn't say, and i refuse to make stuff up fr fr 🙈

🍓 tiny shoutout: this page ships out of the kernel source dir ./include/crypto, dated October 2026 — mark your calendars bestie 📅💅

and that's the whole page! short, sweet, structurally empty, absolutely slaying in its own quiet way 🌈⭐ mwah 💋
