/**
* DOC: Single Block Cipher API
*
* The single block cipher API is used with the ciphers of type
* CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_CIPHER (listed as type "cipher" in /proc/crypto).
*
* Using the single block cipher API calls, operations with the basic cipher
* primitive can be implemented. These cipher primitives exclude any block
* chaining operations including IV handling.
*
* The purpose of this single block cipher API is to support the implementation
* of templates or other concepts that only need to perform the cipher operation
* on one block at a time. Templates invoke the underlying cipher primitive
* block-wise and process either the input or the output data of these cipher
* operations.

Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
