NAME

       enum nvme_cmd_format_ses - Format NVM - Secure Erase Settings

SYNOPSIS

       enum nvme_cmd_format_ses {
           NVME_FORMAT_SES_NONE ,
           NVME_FORMAT_SES_USER_DATA_ERASE ,
           NVME_FORMAT_SES_CRYPTO_ERASE

       };

Constants

       NVME_FORMAT_SES_NONE
                   No secure erase operation requested.

       NVME_FORMAT_SES_USER_DATA_ERASE
                   User  Data Erase: All user data shall be erased, contents of the user data after the erase is
                   indeterminate (e.g. the user data may be zero filled, one filled, etc.). If a User Data Erase
                   is requested and all affected user data is encrypted, then the controller is allowed to use a
                   cryptographic erase to perform the requested User Data Erase.

       NVME_FORMAT_SES_CRYPTO_ERASE
                   Cryptographic Erase: All user data shall be erased cryptographically. This is accomplished by
                   deleting the encryption key.
