STRUCT ECDH(9)
π struct ecdh β define an ECDH private key π
okay so bestie, this is struct ecdh(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? she's small but she's mighty. π«Ά This is the little struct that holds your ECDH private key, and the way that it just... exists in ./include/crypto? iconic. Let's get into it.
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
like, here's literally the whole thing, no cap:
struct ecdh {
char *key;
unsigned short key_size;
};
that's it. two members. main character energy in the most minimal way possible. π
π Members π
okay so let's meet the cast:
keyβ the Private ECDH key itself. that's the whole vibe. πkey_sizeβ the Size of the private ECDH key. yes bestie, you gotta know how big she is. π

lowkey remember: this struct is just the definition of a private key holder β the real work happens in those helper functions above, so fr fr go read them next. π
β¨ and that's the whole page, bestie! β¨ this little gem lives in ./include/crypto, dated October 2026, and it's struct ecdh(9) all day every day. slay, periodt. ππΈ
