NVME-ID-SECONDARY-CTRL-LIST(1)

📦 version 3.2, in arch rolling

💅 nvme-id-secondary-ctrl-list — bestie's guide to the secondary controller list 🎀

okay so real talk: this is a page from the nvme-id-secondary corner of the manual-verse, and it's literally just here to show you the secondary controller list that's chillin' with the primary controller of whatever device you point at. no cap, that's the whole vibe. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

nvme-id-secondary-ctrl-list — show the secondary controller list associated with the primary controller of the given device 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

nvme [<global-options>] id secondary-ctrl-list <device>
                        [--cntid=<cntid> | -c <cntid>]
                        [--num-entries=<entries> | -e <entries>]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Show the secondary controller list associated with the primary controller of the given device. that's it, that's the assignment 🫶

The <device> parameter is mandatory — like, you literally cannot skip it, bestie — and it may be either the NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0) or a block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1).

On success, the secondary controller list is printed. iconic behavior, honestly 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -c <cntid>, --cntid=<cntid> — lowest controller identifier to display. like, the starting point of your little controller tour 🎀
  • -e <entries>, --num-entries=<entries> — number of entries to retrieve. how many besties you're inviting to the list 🧚

🌈 GLOBAL OPTIONS 🌈

these ones live at the top-level nvme command and are available to this subcommand too — they're the main character energy that trickles down to everyone else 👑

  • --dry-run — print the command that would be executed, but do not actually execute it. all the fantasy, none of the commitment 🙈
  • --no-ioctl-probing — disable probing for 64-bit IOCTL support.
  • --no-retries — disable retry logic on transient errors. one shot, no redos 💀
  • -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 — pick your fighter, not all four 😭
  • --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. sorry babes, no version 3 🚫
  • --quiet — suppress informational messages. Errors are still reported, and --quiet cancels any --verbose for the library log level. it's giving "don't talk to me unless it's an emergency" 🤫
  • --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. mix and match, comma-separated, go off ✨
  • --timeout=<ms> — set the timeout for the command in milliseconds. infinite or -1 waits without a time limit (0xffffffff). patience is a virtue fr fr ⏳
  • -v, --verbose — increase the level of detail in the output. May be specified multiple times to further increase verbosity. stack it like your fave serum 💜
these options can also be set as machine-wide defaults in nvme-cli.conf(5). A command-line flag always overrides the file. flags stay winning 👑

🌟 EXAMPLES 🌟

  • Has the program issue a list-secondary to display list. slay, one line, done 🎀
# nvme id secondary-ctrl-list /dev/nvme0
