struct nbft_header - NBFT Table - Header (Figure 8)

signature Signature: An ASCII string representation of the table identifier. This field shall be set to the value 4E424654h (i.e. "NBFT", see #NBFT_HEADER_SIG). length Length: The length of the table, in bytes, including the header, starting from offset 0h. This field is used to record the size of the entire table. major_revision Major Revision: The major revision of the structure corresponding to the Signature field. Larger major revision numbers should not be assumed backward compatible to lower major revision numbers with the same signature. checksum Checksum: The entire table, including the Checksum field, shall sum to 0h to be considered valid. oem_id OEMID shall be populated by the NBFT driver writer by an OEM-supplied string that identifies the OEM. All trailing bytes shall be NULL. oem_table_id OEM Table ID: This field shall be populated by the NBFT driver writer with an OEM-supplied string that the OEM uses to identify the particular data table. This field is particularly useful when defining a definition block to distinguish definition block functions. The OEM assigns each dissimilar table a new OEM Table ID. oem_revision OEM Revision: An OEM-supplied revision number. Larger numbers are assumed to be newer revisions. creator_id Creator ID: Vendor ID of utility that created the table. For instance, this may be the ID for the ASL Compiler. creator_revision Creator Revision: Revision of utility that created the table. For instance, this may be the ID for the ASL Compiler. heap_offset Heap Offset (HO): This field indicates the offset in bytes of the heap, if any, from byte offset 0h of the NBFT Table Header. heap_length Heap Length (HL): The length of the heap, if any. driver_dev_path_sig Driver Signature Heap Object Reference: This field indicates the offset in bytes of a heap object containing the Driver Signature, if any, from byte offset 0h of the NBFT Table Header. minor_revision Minor Revision: The minor revision of the structure corresponding to the Signature field. If the major revision numbers are the same, any minor revision number differences shall be backwards compatible with the same signature. reserved Reserved. August 2025 struct nbft_header libnvme(2)
