SYNOPSIS

nvme [<global-options>] solidigm id-ctrl <device>
                        [--raw-binary | -b]
                        [--vendor-specific | -V]

DESCRIPTION

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)

GLOBAL 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.

--timeout=<ms>

Set the timeout for the command in milliseconds.

-v
--verbose

Increase the level of detail in the output. May be specified multiple times to further increase verbosity.

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 -H
