Annotated Snippet

What:		/sys/firmware/ibft/initiator
Date:		November 2007
Contact:	Konrad Rzeszutek <ketuzsezr@darnok.org>
Description:	The /sys/firmware/ibft/initiator directory will contain
		files that expose the iSCSI Boot Firmware Table initiator data.
		Usually this contains the Initiator name.

What:		/sys/firmware/ibft/targetX
Date:		November 2007
Contact:	Konrad Rzeszutek <ketuzsezr@darnok.org>
Description:	The /sys/firmware/ibft/targetX directory will contain
		files that expose the iSCSI Boot Firmware Table target data.
		Usually this contains the target's IP address, boot LUN,
		target name, and what NIC it is associated with. It can also
		contain the CHAP name (and password), the reverse CHAP
		name (and password)

What:		/sys/firmware/ibft/ethernetX
Date:		November 2007
Contact:	Konrad Rzeszutek <ketuzsezr@darnok.org>
Description:	The /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernetX directory will contain
		files that expose the iSCSI Boot Firmware Table NIC data.
		Usually this contains the IP address, MAC, and gateway of the NIC.

What:		/sys/firmware/ibft/acpi_header
Date:		March 2016
Contact:	David Bond <dbond@suse.com>
Description:	The /sys/firmware/ibft/acpi_header directory will contain files
		that expose the SIGNATURE, OEM_ID, and OEM_TABLE_ID fields of the
		acpi table header of the iBFT structure.  This will allow for
		identification of the creator of the table which is useful in
		determining quirks associated with some adapters when used in
		hardware vs software iscsi initiator mode.

Implementation Notes

This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
