💅 NAME 💅

okay so this is the NVMe Manual page for nvme-get-ns-id — it retrieves the namespace ID for an NVMe block device, and bestie… it is deprecated 🙈💀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

nvme [<global-options>] get-ns-id <device>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So nvme-get-ns-id is a deprecated alias for nvme-ns-get-id(1), kept around for scripts written against nvme-cli versions older than 3.0. Options and behavior are identical — literally the only thing retained is the top-level command name. periodt 💅

New scripts should use nvme ns get-id instead, no cap. This alias prints a deprecation warning on stderr and may be removed in a future release, so don’t get too attached 😭

See nvme-ns-get-id(1) for the full option reference 🫶

🌈 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. It’s giving “look but don’t touch” ✨
  • --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, bestie — pick one 💅
  • --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. she’s chatty and we respect it 🗣️✨

These options can also be set as machine-wide defaults in nvme-cli.conf(5). A command-line flag always overrides the file 👑

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

No Examples 😭 that’s literally the whole section, no cap.
