NAME
       nvme-keys-revoke - Revoke a NVMe TLS PSK from a keyring

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
       o   Revoke a key using its description and verify with keyctl

               # nvme keys revoke --identity="NVMe0R01 hostnqn0 subsys0"

               # keyctl show
               Session Keyring
