libnvme(2)

πŸ’– libnvme β€” the API manual, bestie edition πŸ’–

ok so like, this is a page out of the libnvme API manual (that's the manual, section 2 β€” system calls and library functions, iykyk) and today we're doing the tiniest, most specific little glow-up: an enum. One enum. One constant. But it's important and we're gonna treat it with the respect it deserves. πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

enum nbft_security_secret_type β€” Security Profile Descriptor Secret Type

like, it literally tells you what kind of secret we're talking about in a Security Profile Descriptor. no cap, that's the whole job. πŸ‘‘


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enum nbft_security_secret_type {
    NBFT_SECURITY_SECRET_REDFISH_HOST_IFACE_URI

};

(yeah, it's a one-member enum. she's small but she's mighty. main character energy in like six lines of C. ✨)


πŸ¦‹ Constants πŸ¦‹

  • NBFT_SECURITY_SECRET_REDFISH_HOST_IFACE_URI β€” Redfish Host Interface URI. and here's the tea, bestie πŸ“: if this thing is set to 1h, then the Secret Keypath Object Reference is a URI that points to a Redfish Key Collection Object which holds the PSK. that's it, that's the whole vibe. so 1h means "hey, go follow this URI, the key lives in there." 🫢
⚠️ ok real talk for a sec β€” the 1h bit is doing so much work in that sentence. it's the switch that changes what the Secret Keypath Object Reference even means. don't sleep on it. πŸ’…

and that's the entire page, babe, we ate and left no crumbs πŸ’– if you're out here reading libnvme manpages for fun you're literally my favourite person on this planet, no notes. 🌈


mwah πŸ’‹ that was libnvme (manpage for section 2), straight from libnvme 2, dated July 2026. go forth and configure your NVMe over Fabrics secrets responsibly, bestie. πŸ§šβ€β™€οΈβœ¨
