NVME-LOG-MGMT-ADD(1)

📦 version 3.2, in arch rolling

🎀 NVME-LOG-MGMT-ADD(1) — like, the nvme-log-mgmt-addr-list page, bestie 🎀

okay so you opened the NVMe manual (yes, the NVMe Manual, we're fancy here) and landed on this one. It's nvme-log-mgmt-addr-list, and it's honestly a vibe.

✨ NAME ✨

nvme-log-mgmt-addr-list — Retrieve Management Address List Log, show it 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

nvme [<global-options>] log mgmt-addr-list <device>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Retrieve Management Address List Log, show it. That's the whole bit. It retrieves it, and then it shows it to you. Iconic behavior, no notes.

The <device> parameter is mandatory — it's the NVMe character device, like /dev/nvme0 for example. Not optional, bestie, you have to give it one. 🙈

On success it returns 0. Otherwise you get an error code. Periodt.

💖 OPTIONS 💖

🌈 GLOBAL OPTIONS 🌈

So these ones are defined up at the top-level nvme command, which means they're available to this subcommand too. They trickle down. Main character options, honestly. 👑

  • --dry-run — Prints the command that would be executed, but doesn't actually execute it. It's giving window shopping. 🛍️
  • --no-ioctl-probing — Disables probing for 64-bit IOCTL support.
  • --no-retries — Disables the retry logic on transient errors. One shot, that's it.
  • -o <fmt>, --output-format=<fmt> — Sets the reporting format to normal, tabular, 'json, or binary. Only one output format at a time, okay? Pick one. ✋
  • --output-format-version=<version> — Selects the output format version. Version 1 uses the original field naming, while version 2 (the default) gives you more consistent and script-friendly field names. Any other version? Rejected. 🚫
  • --quiet — Suppresses informational messages. Errors still get reported, and heads up: --quiet cancels any --verbose for the library log level. They fight, and quiet wins. 💀
  • --set-options=<key=value>[,<key=value>...] — Sets libnvme library options just 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). So like... forever. Your call. ⏳
  • -v, --verbose — Increases the level of detail in the output. You can specify it multiple times to go even more verbose. Stack it, queen. 📚
Also, these options can be set as machine-wide defaults in nvme-cli.conf(5). And a command-line flag always overrides the file. Always. No cap. 🔥

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

  • Has the program issue a mgmt-addr-list-log:
# nvme log mgmt-addr-list /dev/nvme0
