CRYPTO_ALLOC_AEAD(9)                  Programming Interface                  CRYPTO_ALLOC_AEAD(9)



NAME
       crypto_alloc_aead - allocate AEAD cipher handle

SYNOPSIS
       struct crypto_aead * crypto_alloc_aead(const char * alg_name, u32 type, u32 mask);

ARGUMENTS
       alg_name
           is the cra_name / name or cra_driver_name / driver name of the AEAD cipher

       type
           specifies the type of the cipher

       mask
           specifies the mask for the cipher

DESCRIPTION
       Allocate a cipher handle for an AEAD. The returned struct crypto_aead is the cipher handle
       that is required for any subsequent API invocation for that AEAD.

RETURN
       allocated cipher handle in case of success; IS_ERR is true in case of an error, PTR_ERR
       returns the error code.
