# [NAME](#NAME)

libnvmf\_config\_get\_hostnqn - the top-level \[Host] host NQN.

# [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS)

**const char * libnvmf\_config\_get\_hostnqn** **(const struct libnvmf\_config \*config );**

# [ARGUMENTS](#ARGUMENTS)

[config](#config)

the resolved configuration

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

The identity of the configuration's default persona, as written in the top-level file's \[Host] section. A drop-in's persona is deliberately not reachable here: it belongs to that drop-in's own connections.

Each connection already carries the identity it is made under, but a configuration may name a persona and configure no connections at all -- a host that only connects what it discovers. This is how that identity is read.

# [RETURN](#RETURN)

borrowed string, valid while *config* is alive, or NULL when the top-level file names no host NQN (the caller falls back to the system identity in /etc/nvme/hostnqn).
