💅 NVME-EFFECTS-LOG(1) — the vibe check

okay bestie, so this is a page from the NVMe Manual, and it's about a command literally called nvme-effects-log 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

nvme-effects-log — send an NVMe Command Effects log page request, get the result and the log back 💖 (also: it's deprecated, we'll get to that)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

nvme [<global-options>] effects-log <device> [--raw-binary | -b]

that's literally it, she's a short one 🦋

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So. This is a deprecated alias for nvme-log-effects(1), and it's been kept around purely for scripts written against nvme-cli versions older than 3.0. The options and behavior are identical — the only thing that's different is the top-level command name. same girl, different name tag 💅

New scripts should use nvme log effects instead, no cap. This alias prints a deprecation warning on stderr and may be removed in a future release 😭 so don't get attached.

For the full option reference, go look at nvme-log-effects(1) — that's the main character here 👑

🌈 GLOBAL OPTIONS 🌈

These are defined at the top-level nvme command and are available to this subcommand, so yes, they count 🫶

  • --dry-run — prints the command that would be executed, but does not actually execute it. all the plot, none of the consequences ✨
  • --no-ioctl-probing — disables probing for 64-bit IOCTL support.
  • --no-retries — disables retry logic on transient errors. one shot, one opportunity 💀
  • -o <fmt>, --output-format=<fmt> — sets the reporting format to normal, tabular, 'json, or binary. only one output format may be used at a time, pick a lane bestie.
  • --output-format-version=<version> — selects the output format version. Version 1 uses the original field naming, while version 2 (the default) provides more consistent and script-friendly field names. Other versions are rejected — nope, not those ones 🙅‍♀️
  • --quiet — suppresses informational messages. errors are still reported, and --quiet cancels any --verbose for the library log level. she's quiet but she's still listening 👀
  • --set-options=<key=value>[,<key=value>...] — sets libnvme library options for this invocation. supported keys are force-4k, mi-probe-enabled, test-base-dir and test-sysfs-dir.
  • --timeout=<ms> — sets the timeout for the command in milliseconds. infinite or -1 waits without a time limit (0xffffffff). patience is a virtue ig 🌸
  • -v, --verbose — increases the level of detail in the output. may be specified multiple times to further increase verbosity. she can be a lot, and that's iconic 💖

Also! these options can be set as machine-wide defaults in nvme-cli.conf(5) — and a command-line flag always overrides the file. periodt 💅
