🎀 Members 🎀

• result — the command completion result, straight outta CQE dword0. she's the receipts 💅
• data — the security data payload you're sending. the actual goods 📦
• args_size — the size of struct nvme_security_receive_args. yes, she's self-aware, iconic behavior 🪞
• fd — file descriptor of the nvme device. your lil doorway into the hardware 🚪
• timeout — timeout in ms. how long you're willing to wait before you're like ok girl wrap it up ⏳
• nsid — namespace ID to issue the security command on. gotta know which namespace we're pulling up on 🌈
• al — protocol specific allocation length. not "al" like a guy named Al, it's the allocation length, bestie 😭
• data_len — data length of the payload, in bytes. count it, don't guess 🔢
• nssf — NVMe Security Specific field. say that five times fast 🌀
• spsp0 — Security Protocol Specific field. the first one 🍓
• spsp1 — Security Protocol Specific field. the second one. twins but make it protocol 🧚
• secp — Security Protocol. the whole point of the operation, lowkey 🔥

heads up queen: every one of these is just a struct member, so if you're filling them in by hand, don't skip any — the kernel does not do vibes-based error correction 💀

this page lives in the libnvme(9) API Manual, and it was last touched way back in August 2026 🦋 — so go forth, pass your security receive args, and slay. periodt. 💜
