NVME-HOST-DISCOVER(1)

📦 version 3.2, in arch rolling

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so this is the NVME-HOST-DISCOVER(1) page, and the main character is nvme-host-discovery-log — it retrieves the Host Discovery Log and shows it to you, but bestie… it’s deprecated 💅.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

nvme [<global-options>] host-discovery-log <device>
                        [--all-host-entries | -a]
                        [--rae | -r]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This is a deprecated alias for nvme-log-host-discovery(1), kept around for scripts that were written against nvme-cli versions older than 3.0. Options and behavior are identical; only the top-level command name is retained. slay for backwards compatibility, honestly 🫶.

New scripts should use nvme log host-discovery instead.

🚨 warning bestie: this alias prints a deprecation warning on stderr and may be removed in a future release. so like… maybe don’t build your whole personality around it 💀.

See nvme-log-host-discovery(1) for the full option reference. that’s where the real full menu lives ✨.

🌍 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 don’t actually execute it. imaginary slay 💭
  • --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, no mixing and matching bestie.
  • --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. go off, verbose icon 👑

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