Output rule-array for option STATMOFN
Elements one and two, and elements three and four, are each treated as a 16-byte
string with the high-order 15 bytes having meaningful information and the 16th byte
containing a space character. Each byte provides status information about the 'i'th
share, 1i15, of master-key information.
1, 2 Master-Key Shares
Generation
The 15 individual bytes are set to one of these
character values:
0Cannot be generated
1Can be generated
2Has been generated but not
distributed
3Generated and distributed once
4Generated and distributed more
than once.
3, 4 Master-Key Shares
Reception
The 15 individual bytes are set to one of these
character values:
0Cannot be received
1Can be received
3Has been received
4Has been received more than once.
5'm'The minimum number of shares required to
instantiate a master key through the
master-key-shares process. The value is
returned in two characters, valued from 01 to
15, followed by six space characters.
6'n'The maximum number of distinct shares
involved in the master-key shares process.
