nvme-solidigm-id-ctrl1
Send nvme identify controller, return result and structure
Usage
nvme [<global-options>]
solidigm
id-ctrl
<device>
[{--raw-binary | -b}]
[{--vendor-specific | -V}]
[{--human-readable | -H}]
Overview
This command is a Solidigm-specific extension of the NVMe Identify Controller command. It sends an NVMe Identify Controller command to the specified device and provides the result and returned structure.
The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0) or a namespace block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1).
Options
-
-H, --human-readable -
Display values in a human-readable format where possible. (deprecated, use --verbose)
Options
The following options are defined at the top-level nvme command and are available to this subcommand:
-
--dry-run -
Print the command that would be executed, but do not actually execute it.
-
--no-ioctl-probing -
Disable probing for 64-bit IOCTL support.
-
--no-retries -
Disable retry logic on transient errors.
-
-o <fmt>, --output-format=<fmt> -
Set the reporting format to normal, tabular, 'json, or binary. Only one output format may be used at a time.
-
--output-format-version=<version> -
Select the output format version. Version 1 uses the original field naming, while version 2 (default) provides more consistent and script-friendly field names. Other versions are rejected.
-
--quiet -
Suppress informational messages. Errors are still reported, and --quiet cancels any --verbose for the library log level.
-
--set-options=<key=value>[,<key=value>...] -
Set libnvme library options for this invocation. Supported keys are force-4k, mi-probe-enabled, test-base-dir and test-sysfs-dir.
-
--timeout=<ms> -
Set the timeout for the command in milliseconds. infinite or -1 waits without a time limit (0xffffffff).
-
-v, --verbose -
Increase the level of detail in the output. May be specified multiple times to further increase verbosity.
These options can also be set as machine-wide defaults in nvme-cli.conf(5). A command-line flag always overrides the file.
Examples
• Send the Identify Controller command and interpret the output:
# nvme solidigm id-ctrl /dev/nvme0
• Print the raw output to stdout:
# nvme solidigm id-ctrl /dev/nvme0 --raw-binary
• Print the output in JSON format:
# nvme solidigm id-ctrl /dev/nvme0 -o json
• Display the vendor-specific fields:
# nvme solidigm id-ctrl /dev/nvme0 --vendor-specific # nvme solidigm id-ctrl /dev/nvme0 -V
• Use human-readable output:
# nvme solidigm id-ctrl /dev/nvme0 --human-readable # nvme solidigm id-ctrl /dev/nvme0 -v
