.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
||
|
|
A sanitize operation alters all user data in the NVM subsystem such that
|
||
|
|
recovery of any previous user data from any cache, the non-volatile media,
|
||
|
|
or any Controller Memory Buffer is not possible.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Sanitize command starts a sanitize operation or to recover from a
|
||
|
|
previously failed sanitize operation. The sanitize operation types that may
|
||
|
|
be supported are Block Erase, Crypto Erase, and Overwrite. All sanitize
|
||
|
|
operations are processed in the background, i.e., completion of the sanitize
|
||
|
|
command does not indicate completion of the sanitize operation.
|
||
|
|
.SH "RETURN"
|
||
|
|
The nvme command status if a response was received (see
|
||
|
|
\fIenum nvme_status_field\fP) or -1 with errno set otherwise.
