💅 libnvmf_create_raw_secret — libnvme API manual

okay so bestie, welcome to the section of the libnvme API manual about making raw secrets ✨ this one is literally libnvmf_create_raw_secret(9) and she is that girl.

🌸 NAME 🌸

libnvmf_create_raw_secret — generate a raw secret buffer from input data 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int libnvmf_create_raw_secret (struct libnvme_global_ctx *ctx , const
char *secret , size_t key_len , unsigned char **raw_secret );

like, yes, it's a mouthful, but she slays 💅

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • ctx — a struct libnvme_global_ctx object, aka your context bestie, the whole vibe holder 🫶
  • secret — the input secret data, i.e. the actual secret you're feeding in 🔐
  • key_len — the length of the raw_secret in bytes 📏
  • raw_secret — the return buffer that gets the generated raw secret dropped into it, no cap ✨

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so what she does is: she transforms the provided secret into a raw secret buffer that's suitable for use with NVMe key management operations. it's giving glow-up, but for bytes 💫

and the generated raw secret can subsequently be passed to libnvmf_insert_tls_key_versioned or libnvmf_update_key — iykyk 👑

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 on success, and a negative error code otherwise 😭 (fr fr, check that return value, don't just vibe past it)

lowkey iconic of you to read the whole thing. main character energy 🧚
