Contents
Arguments
handle
[in] cipher handle
iniov
[in] head of scatter-gather list of the source buffers with the public keys of the peer
outiov
[out] head of scatter-gather list of the destination buffers filled with the generated shared secret
iovlen
[in] number of scatter-gather list entries
access
[in] kernel access type (KCAPI_ACCESS_HEURISTIC - use internal heuristic for fastest kernel access;
KCAPI_ACCESS_VMSPLICE - use vmsplice access; KCAPI_ACCESS_SENDMSG - sendmsg access)

Description
The individual scatter-gather list entries are processed with separate invocations of the the given
cipher.
The memory should be aligned at the page boundary using posix_memalign(sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE)), If it is
not aligned at the page boundary, the vmsplice call may not send all data to the kernel.
return number of bytes verify upon success; a negative errno-style error code if an error occurred
