NVME_MI_ADMIN_SECURITY_RECV(2)

💖 NAME 💖

nvme_mi_admin_security_recv — bestie, this is the one that runs a Security Receive command on a controller. That's it. That's the whole job description. She's focused. She's iconic. She does one thing. 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int nvme_mi_admin_security_recv (nvme_mi_ctrl_t ctrl , struct
nvme_security_receive_args *args );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ctrl — the Controller you're sending this command to. Like, the one you're choosing. Main character selection screen. 🌸
• args — the Security Receive command arguments. Everything you wanna say to this command goes in here, girlie. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so here's the tea. ☕ This function performs a Security Receive Admin command exactly as specified by args. No more, no less. She's a rule follower.

The response data you get back? It gets stored in args->data. And heads up — that thing needs to be a buffer of args->data_len bytes. So, like, make sure it's big enough, because nobody wants that awkward moment. 😭

On a successful command completion, the resulting data length gets stored in args->data_len. So she tells you how much she actually gave you. Mutual respect. 💅

⚠️ Real talk: your Security Receive data length should not be greater than 4096 bytes to comply with specification limits. That's the ceiling. Do not try to exceed the ceiling. The spec said what it said. 🔥

Also, go peek at: struct nvme_get_log_args — she's giving related-energy. 👀

🌈 RETURN 🌈

So what do you get back?

• The nvme command status if a response was received (see enum nvme_status_field) ✨
• or -1 with errno set otherwise. 💀

That's the deal. No cap.
