NVME-LOG-AVE-DISC(1)

📦 version 3.2, in arch rolling

💅 NAME 💅

nvme-log-ave-discovery — bestie, this one grabs the AVE Discovery Log and then shows it to you. That's the whole job. Iconic, lowkey.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

nvme [<global-options>] log ave-discovery <device> [--rae | -r]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so: retrieve the AVE Discovery Log, and show it. That's it. That's the vibe.

The <device> parameter is mandatory — it's the NVMe character device, like /dev/nvme0. No device, no log, no slay. 🙈

On success it returns 0. If something goes sideways? Error code otherwise. Periodt.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -r, --rae — Retain an Asynchronous Event. Yes, that's the whole description. It's giving "mysterious but confident." 💅

👑 GLOBAL OPTIONS 👑

These live at the top-level nvme command, but they're absolutely available to this subcommand too. Sharing is caring, bestie 🫶

  • --dry-run — Prints the command that would be executed, but doesn't actually execute it. All the anticipation, zero commitment. ✨
  • --no-ioctl-probing — Disables probing for 64-bit IOCTL support.
  • --no-retries — Disables retry logic on transient errors. One shot, no take-backs.
  • -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, babe.
  • --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 — they simply do not make the cut. 💀
  • --quiet — Suppresses informational messages. Errors are still reported, and --quiet cancels any --verbose for the library log level. Shhh, main character is thinking. 🤫
  • --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. Comma-separated, so go off.
  • --timeout=<ms> — Sets the timeout for the command in milliseconds. infinite or -1 waits without a time limit (0xffffffff). Yes, literally forever. Choose wisely.
  • -v, --verbose — Increases the level of detail in the output. May be specified multiple times to further increase verbosity — stack it like a limited-edition collab. 🔥
These options can also be set as machine-wide defaults in nvme-cli.conf(5). A command-line flag always overrides the file. The flag is the main character, the conf file is the supportive bestie. Periooot.

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

  • Has the program issue a ave-discovery-log
# nvme log ave-discovery /dev/nvme0

Look at her go. 🧚
