kcapi_aead_init — initialization of cipher handle
int kcapi_aead_init ( | struct kcapi_handle ** handle, |
const char * ciphername, | |
uint32_t flags) ; |
handle
[out] cipher handle filled during the call
ciphername
[in] kernel crypto API cipher name as specified in /proc/crypto
flags
[in] flags specifying the type of cipher handle
This function initializes an AEAD cipher handle and establishes the connection to the kernel.
On success, a pointer to kcapi_handle object is returned in *handle. Function kcapi_aead_destroy should be called afterwards to free resources.
return
0 upon success;
-ENOENT - algorithm not available;
-EOPNOTSUPP - AF_ALG family not available;
-EINVAL - accept syscall failed
-ENOMEM - cipher handle cannot be allocated
