STRUCT KPP_SECRET(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the struct kpp_secret(9) page from the Kernel API Manual 💖 this one is short and sweet: it's the tiny header situation for packing a secret buffer. No cap, it's giving "small but important" energy ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct kpp_secret — a small header for packing a secret buffer 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct kpp_secret {
    unsigned short type;
    unsigned short len;
};

🎀 Members 🎀

• type — says what type of secret this is; each kpp type will define its own 💅
• len — says the length of the secret, and it includes the header that follows the struct 👑
