DBCIOCNONCE(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… NAME πŸ’…

okay so bestie, this is DBCIOCNONCE(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the move where you fetch a nonce from the PSP for authenticating commands. ✨

  • if a nonce is fetched without authentication, it can only be utilized for one command. one. single. command. periodt. πŸ’€
  • if a nonce is fetched with authentication, it can be used for multiple requests. slay, reusable nonce energy. πŸ‘‘

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ngl, the whole synopsis is just this iconic little line:

DBCIOCNONCE

that's it. that's the vibe. πŸŽ€
