Bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual page for tipc_crypto_key_attach(9), and it's lowkey iconic: this function is the one that attaches a new AEAD key to TIPC crypto 🔐✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int tipc_crypto_key_attach (struct tipc_crypto *c , struct tipc_aead
       *aead , u8 pos , bool master_key );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

  • c — the TIPC crypto to which the new AEAD key is attached 🫶
  • aead — the new AEAD key pointer, aka the key being brought into the group chat 🔑
  • pos — desired slot in the crypto key array, = 0 if any! So yes, it can pick a specific spot or just vibe with any slot ✨

If it hits you with -EBUSY, it's booked and busy, no cap.
