CRYPTO_ALLOC_AKCIPHE(9)               Programming Interface               CRYPTO_ALLOC_AKCIPHE(9)



NAME
       crypto_alloc_akcipher - allocate AKCIPHER tfm handle

SYNOPSIS
       struct crypto_akcipher * crypto_alloc_akcipher(const char * alg_name, u32 type, u32 mask);

ARGUMENTS
       alg_name
           is the cra_name / name or cra_driver_name / driver name of the public key algorithm
           e.g.  “rsa”

       type
           specifies the type of the algorithm

       mask
           specifies the mask for the algorithm

DESCRIPTION
       Allocate a handle for public key algorithm. The returned struct crypto_akcipher is the
       handle that is required for any subsequent API invocation for the public key operations.

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