NE_GET_IMAGE_LOAD_INFO(9)

💖 NE_GET_IMAGE_LOAD_INFO(9) — Kernel API Manual 💖

Hii bestie!! Welcome to NE_GET_IMAGE_LOAD_INFO(9) from the Kernel API Manual — this is the page for the info you need for in-memory enclave image loading, and it’s lowkey iconic. ✨💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

NE_GET_IMAGE_LOAD_INFO — the command is used to get information needed for in-memory enclave image loading, e.g. offset in enclave memory to start placing the enclave image. 📍

The image load info is an input / output parameter. It includes info provided by the caller — flags — and returns the offset in enclave memory where to start placing the enclave image. The ioctl can be invoked on the enclave fd, before an enclave is started. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

NE_GET_IMAGE_LOAD_INFO

🎀 CONTEXT 🎀

Process context. 💅

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• 0 — Logic successfully completed. ✅
• -1 — There was a failure in the ioctl logic. 😭 On failure, errno is set to:
  • EFAULT — copy_from_user / copy_to_user failure.
  • NE_ERR_NOT_IN_INIT_STATE — The enclave is not in init state (init = before being started).
  • NE_ERR_INVALID_FLAG_VALUE — The value of the provided flag is invalid.
