✨ NAME ✨

struct libnbft_security - Security Profile Descriptor. This is the libnvme(9) API Manual page, bestie — and it’s literally all about that Security Profile Descriptor struct. Periodt. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

The struct is giving C declarations, no cap:

struct libnbft_security {
    int index;
    __u16 flags;
    __u8 secret_type;
    __u8 *sec_chan_algs;
    __u16 sec_chan_algs_len;
    __u8 *auth_protocols;
    __u16 auth_protocols_len;
    __u8 *cipher_suites;
    __u16 cipher_suites_len;
    __u8 *kx_groups;
    __u16 kx_groups_len;
    __u8 *sec_hash_funcs;
    __u16 sec_hash_funcs_len;
    char *secret_keypath;
};

👑 Members 👑

• index — The number of this Security Profile Descriptor in the Security Profile Descriptor List. iykyk.
• flags — Security Profile Descriptor Flags bitmask, see enum nbft_security_flags.
• secret_type — Secret Type, see enum nbft_security_secret_type.
• sec_chan_algs — Secure Channel Algorithm list: an array of bytes whose values are the Security Type (SECTYPE) field, see enum nvmf_tcp_sectype. NULL if not present in the NBFT heap.
• sec_chan_algs_len — Length in bytes of sec_chan_algs.
• auth_protocols — Authentication Protocol identifier list. Values are Authentication Protocol Identifiers as defined in the NVM Express Base Specification. NULL if not present in the NBFT heap.
• auth_protocols_len — Length in bytes of auth_protocols.
• cipher_suites — Cipher Suite identifier list: raw byte data containing cipher suite identifiers as defined in the IANA TLS Parameters Registry. Each entry is a 16-bit value; the number of entries is cipher_suites_len / 2. NULL if not present in the NBFT heap.
• cipher_suites_len — Length in bytes of cipher_suites.
• kx_groups — KX-HMAC-CHAP key exchange group identifier list. Values are Key Exchange Group Identifiers as defined in the NVM Express Base Specification. NULL if not present in the NBFT heap.
• kx_groups_len — Length in bytes of kx_groups.
• sec_hash_funcs — KX-HMAC-CHAP hash function identifier list, see enum libnvmf_hmac_alg. NULL if not present in the NBFT heap.
• sec_hash_funcs_len — Length in bytes of sec_hash_funcs.
• secret_keypath — URI string for the secret key path. The type of the URI is specified by secret_type. NULL if not present.

🌸 Description 🌸

💖 Okay so important boundary tea: all pointer fields refer to storage owned by the parent struct libnbft_info. They must not be freed separately. Not me warning you twice — that’s just the rule, bestie. 🫶
