NVME-MI-CMD-SUPPO(1)

💅 NAME 💅

nvme-mi-cmd-support-effects-log — bestie this one sends the NVMe MI Command Support and Effects log, hands you back the results and the structure... and also it's deprecated 😭 just so you know going in.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

nvme [<global-options>] mi-cmd-support-effects-log <device>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so picture this: it's a deprecated alias for nvme-log-mi-cmd-support-effects(1). That's it. That's the whole vibe. It got kept around for all the scripts out there written against nvme-cli versions older than 3.0, because we don't abandon our old code fr fr 🫶. The options and the behavior are identical — literally the only thing being kept is the top-level command name. Iconic but retired.

New scripts though? Bestie. Use nvme log mi-cmd-support-effects instead, please 🙏. This alias prints a deprecation warning on stderr and might get removed in a future release — so don't get too attached, ngl.

Want the full option reference? Go read nvme-log-mi-cmd-support-effects(1), it's all there 💜.

👑 GLOBAL OPTIONS 👑

These are defined up at the top-level nvme command, and they're all available to this subcommand too. Slay.

• --dry-run — prints the command it would run, but doesn't actually run it. All the vibes, none of the commitment 🙈.
• --no-ioctl-probing — turns off probing for 64-bit IOCTL support.
• --no-retries — kills the retry logic on transient errors. One shot, no second chances ✨.
• -o <fmt>, --output-format=<fmt> — sets the reporting format to normal, tabular, 'json, or binary. Only one output format at a time, bestie — pick a lane 💅.
• --output-format-version=<version> — picks 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 gets rejected, no cap 🚫.
• --quiet — suppresses informational messages. Errors are still reported though, and --quiet cancels any --verbose for the library log level. She's quiet, not oblivious 🎀.
• --set-options=<key=value>[,<key=value>...] — sets libnvme library options for this one 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 with no time limit at all (0xffffffff) — she'll wait forever for you 🫶.
• -v, --verbose — more detail in the output. Can be specified multiple times to crank the verbosity up even further 🔥.

Heads up: these options can also be set as machine-wide defaults in nvme-cli.conf(5). But a command-line flag always overrides the file — command line stays main character energy 👑.
