Subject: [PATCH 2/4] man/keyctl_dh_compute: mention /proc/crypto for hashnames
Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2018 13:01:57 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180924130159.5299-3-mathstuf@gmail.com> (raw)
The kernel does not have a set of known hashnames available. Instead,
/proc/crypto contains the information for the running system.
