💅 NVME-LIST-NS(1) — the deprecated-alias era 💅

okay bestie, so this is the nvme-list-ns page from the NVMe manual, and before you get attached: it's deprecated. like, it still works, it still slays, but it's living on borrowed time. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

nvme-list-ns — send NVMe Identify List Namespaces, return result and structure (deprecated) 😭

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

nvme [<global-options>] list-ns <device> [--namespace-id=<nsid> | -n <nsid>]
                        [--csi=<command_set_identifier> | -y
                        <command_set_identifier>]
                        [--all | -a]

that's the whole vibe check right there — <device>, an optional <nsid>, an optional <command_set_identifier>, and an optional --all. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea: this is a deprecated alias for nvme-id-ns-list(1). It got kept around for all the scripts people wrote against nvme-cli versions older than 3.0. The options and behavior are literally identical — the only thing retained is the top-level command name. no cap. 👑

New scripts should use nvme id ns-list instead, fr fr. This alias prints a deprecation warning on stderr and may be removed in a future release — so don't build your whole personality on it, bestie. 💀

See nvme-id-ns-list(1) for the full option reference. <<<

🎀 GLOBAL OPTIONS 🎀

These bad boys are defined at the top-level nvme command and are available to this subcommand:

  • --dry-run — prints the command that would be executed, but does not actually execute it. all talk, no action, honestly iconic. 🙈
  • --no-ioctl-probing — disables probing for 64-bit IOCTL support.
  • --no-retries — turns off 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, so pick a lane. 💅
  • --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. 🚫
  • --quiet — suppresses informational messages. Errors are still reported, and --quiet cancels any --verbose for the library log level. shhh. 🤫
  • --set-options=<key=value>[,<key=value>...] — sets libnvme library options for this invocation. The 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). impatient queen behavior is also valid, but this is the "wait forever" setting. 🕰️
  • -v, --verbose — increases the level of detail in the output. May be specified multiple times to further increase verbosity. stack it like your fave serums. 🌈
heads up bestie — these options can also be set as machine-wide defaults in nvme-cli.conf(5). A command-line flag always overrides the file. no exceptions, periodt. 👑
