SYNOPSIS

nvme [<global-options>] keys revoke [--keyring=<name> | -k <name>]
                        [--keytype=<type> | -t <type>]
                        --identity=<description> | -i <description>

DESCRIPTION

Revoke an NVMe TLS pre-shared key (PSK) from the system keyring.

OPTIONS

-k <name>
--keyring=<name>

Name of the keyring to revoke the key from. Default is .nvme.

-t <type>
--keytype=<type>

Type of the key to revoke. Default is psk.

-i <description>
--identity=<description>

Identity (description) of the key to revoke.

GLOBAL OPTIONS

The following options are defined at the top-level nvme command and are available to this subcommand:

--dry-run

Print the command that would be executed, but do not actually execute it.

--no-ioctl-probing

Disable probing for 64-bit IOCTL support.

--no-retries

Disable retry logic on transient errors.

-o <fmt>
--output-format=<fmt>

Set the reporting format to normal, tabular, 'json, or binary. Only one output format may be used at a time.

--output-format-version=<version>

Select the output format version. Version 1 uses the original field naming, while version 2 (default) provides more consistent and script-friendly field names.

--timeout=<ms>

Set the timeout for the command in milliseconds.

-v
--verbose

Increase the level of detail in the output. May be specified multiple times to further increase verbosity.

These options can also be set as machine-wide defaults in nvme-cli.conf(5). A command-line flag always overrides the file.

EXAMPLES

  • Revoke a key using its description and verify with keyctl
