So I'm trying to understand Linux's crypto.h library to handle encryption for a class project, and the scatterlist structure appears throughout the header file. what exactly is a scatterlist though? I've googled for a while and haven't come to any clear definitions.

Somewhat clearer, although I thought scatterlists were some concrete structure. From what I understand, they are more of a "black box" data structure that the algorithm can use as its workspace?
 
Right - it is in simple terms, a programming API, not actually part of the crypto process.
