ENCLAVE START INFO FLAGS(9)

🌸 ENCLAVE START INFO FLAGS 💅

okay so picture this: you're deep in the Kernel API Manual (yes bestie, the kernel API manual, we're fancy now ✨) and you've landed on the page for enclave start info flags. Iconic. This is the page that tells you where else to look — it's giving air traffic control for Nitro Enclaves knowledge 🛫. No options, no arguments, no return values on this one; it's purely a "go read these next" situation and honestly? Slay. 🎀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🫶

the whole squad, in order, bestie — don't skip a single one:

• Kernel file ./include/uapi/linux/nitro_enclaves.h Nitro Enclaves (NE) Kernel Driver Interface(9) — the header file AND the driver interface page, they come as a package deal 💖

ngl this list is long and that's the whole point — it's a see also page, not a shortcut page. Every single entry above is a real ref you can go pull up, so treat it like a reading list and not a vibe check you can skim 🧚

and that's the whole page, bestie — no hidden lore, no extra flags, just the cross-references 💜

sign-off time: this little baddie lives under ./include/uapi/linux and the date on it is October 2026 — periodt. 🦋👑
