NAME

6       kcapi_akcipher_init - initialize cipher handle
7

SYNOPSIS

9       int kcapi_akcipher_init(struct kcapi_handle ** handle,
10                               const char * ciphername, uint32_t flags);
11

ARGUMENTS

13       handle
14           [out] cipher handle filled during the call
15
16       ciphername
17           [in] kernel crypto API cipher name as specified in /proc/crypto
18
19       flags
20           [in] flags specifying the type of cipher handle
21

DESCRIPTION

23       This function provides the initialization of an asymmetric cipher
24       handle and establishes the connection to the kernel.
25
26       On success, a pointer to kcapi_handle object is returned in *handle.
27       Function kcapi_akcipher_destroy should be called afterwards to free
28       resources.
29
30       return 0 upon success; -ENOENT - algorithm not available; -EOPNOTSUPP -
31       AF_ALG family not available; -EINVAL - accept syscall failed -ENOMEM -
32       cipher handle cannot be allocated
