Definitions of PKCS#11 abbreviations

Question

Is there a complete definition list for all CKx abbreviations in PKCS#11? I believe I gathered most of them:

CK  = ... Data type or general constant
CKA = ... Attribute
CKC = ... Certificate type
CKD = ... Key derivation function
CKF = ... Bit flag
CKG = ... Mask generation function
CKH = ... Hardware features type
CKK = ... Key type
CKM = ... Mechanism type
CKN = ... Notification
CKO = ... Object class
CKP = ... Pseudo-random function
CKR = ... Return value
CKS = ... Session state
CKU = ... User type
CKZ = ... Salt/Encoding parameter

Are these correct? Am I missing any?

Note: there's a slight typo above (that I can't edit, since it's below the 6-character minimum!): `CKP` is the Pseudo-random function abbreviation, *not* `CKR`. `CKR` is only for return values. — yossarian, Feb 20 '20 at 21:57

They are defined in the standard, maintained on the OASIS website...symbols and abbreviations.

And the list there matches yours.
