It is perfectly legal to use the same buffer as the message and
signature pointers. That would mean that after the signature generation
operation, the message is overwritten with the signature.
</p><p>
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.
</p><p>
If the output size is insufficiently large, -EINVAL is returned. The
output buffer must be at least as large as the modululs of the uses key.
</p><p>
To catch signature verification errors, the return value of this
call should be checked. If this function returns -EBADMSG, the
verification of the signature failed.
</p><p>
<em class="parameter"><code>return</code></em> number of bytes returned by the signature ver operation upon success;
a negative errno-style error code if an error occurred
