NVME-OCP-GET-IDLE(1)

📦 version 3.2, in arch rolling

💅 NVME-OCP-GET-IDLE-WAKEUP-TIME 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the nvme-ocp-get-idle-wakeup-time page from the NVMe Manual, section 1. yes it's a whole mouthful, we're gonna get through it together 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

nvme-ocp-get-idle-wakeup-time — literally just define and print the idle-wakeup-time value. that's the whole vibe 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

nvme [<global-options>] ocp get-idle-wakeup-time <device>
                        [--sel=<select> | -s <select>]
                        [--namespace-id=<nsid> | -n <namespace-id>]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this one defines get-idle-wakeup-time. no argument? it just prints the current mode. easy. slay. ✨

the <device> parameter is mandatory, no skipping it bestie — and it can be either the NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0) or the block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1). pick your fighter 💅

⚠️ heads up: this will only work on OCP compliant devices that support this feature. results for any other device are undefined — so like, don't come for me if it gets weird on random hardware 😭

on success it returns 0, otherwise an error code. periodt.

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • -s <select>, --sel=<select> — the Select (SEL) field. it says which value of the attributes to return in the provided data 👑
    • 0 — name: current, description: Current
    • 1 — name: default, description: Default
    • 2 — name: saved, description: Saved
    • 3 — name: supported, description: Supported capabilities
  • -n <namespace-id>, --namespace-id=<namespace-id> — namespace-id (namespace-id): this field specifies which value of the attributes to return in the provided data 🧚
    • 0 — Current
    • 1 — Default
    • 2 — Saved
    • 3 — Supported capabilities
    • 4-7 — Reserved

also!! the broadcast value 0xffffffff can be given as 'all' or '-1' 🌈

⭐ GLOBAL OPTIONS ⭐

these are defined at the top-level nvme command and are available to this subcommand too, iykyk:

  • --dry-run — prints the command that would be executed, but does not actually execute it. all talk, no ioctl 🔥
  • --no-ioctl-probing — disables probing for 64-bit IOCTL support.
  • --no-retries — disables retry logic on transient errors.
  • -o <fmt>, --output-format=<fmt> — sets the reporting format to normal, tabular, 'json, or binary. only one output format at a time, bestie, we don't multitask here 🙈
  • --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. shhhh 💀
  • --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.
  • --timeout=<ms> — sets the timeout for the command in milliseconds. infinite or -1 waits without a time limit (0xffffffff). no cap, literally forever ⏳
  • -v, --verbose — increases the level of detail in the output. may be specified multiple times to further increase verbosity. main character energy, more is more 👑

these options can also be set as machine-wide defaults in nvme-cli.conf(5). a command-line flag always overrides the file. ✨

🌟 EXAMPLES 🌟

  • has the program issue a get-idle-wakeup-time to retrieve the 0xCA get features. iconic behaviour fr fr:
# nvme ocp get-idle-wakeup-time /dev/nvme0
