NVME-SEAGATE-GET-(1)

👑 nvme-seagate-get-host-tele — NVME-SEAGATE-GET-(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the nvme-seagate-get-host-tele page 💅 this one lives in the NVMe Manual, and it's here to help you pull Seagate Host-Initiated Telemetry in either hex-dump (the default, very demure) or binary format. let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

nvme-seagate-get-host-tele — Retrieve Seagate Host-Initiated Telemetry in either hex-dump (default) or binary format 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

nvme [<global-options>] seagate get-host-tele <device> [OPTIONS]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the vibe check: this only works on Seagate devices that actually support this feature. No cap. Not all commands work across all product families — so if it's giving nothing on your drive, that might be why 😭

The <device> parameter is mandatory — you literally cannot skip it, bestie. And it can be either an NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0) or a block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1). Either slaps 🫶

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -n <NUM>, --namespace-id=<NUM> — the desired namespace. the broadcast value 0xffffffff can also be given as all or -1. yes, three whole ways to say the same thing, iconic ✨
• -i <NUM>, --log_specific=<NUM> — 1 means the controller shall capture Data representing the internal state of the controller at the time the command is processed. 0 means the controller shall not update the Telemetry Host Initiated Data. literally just a 0-or-1 moment 💅
• -b, --raw-binary — output in raw format. no pretty printing, just vibes and bytes 🔥

---

🌈 GLOBAL OPTIONS 🌈

these are defined at the top-level nvme command and are available to this subcommand — so they're the main character options that trickle down to us 🧚

• --dry-run — Print the command that would be executed, but do not actually execute it. all the fantasy, none of the commitment 🙈
• --no-ioctl-probing — Disable probing for 64-bit IOCTL support.
• --no-retries — Disable retry logic on transient errors. one shot, one opportunity 💀
• -o <fmt>, --output-format=<fmt> — Set the reporting format to normal, tabular, 'json, or binary. Only one output format may be used at a time. (yes, that stray apostrophe before json is in the original — she's quirky, we keep her 😭)
• --output-format-version=<version> — Select the output format version. Version 1 uses the original field naming, while version 2 (default) provides more consistent and script-friendly field names. Other versions are rejected. pick 2, she's the it-girl 🎀
• --quiet — Suppress informational messages. Errors are still reported, and --quiet cancels any --verbose for the library log level. it literally cancels verbose, that's so real of her 💅
• --set-options=<key=value>[,<key=value>...] — Set libnvme library options for this invocation. Supported keys are force-4k, mi-probe-enabled, test-base-dir and test-sysfs-dir.
• --timeout=<ms> — Set the timeout for the command in milliseconds. infinite or -1 waits without a time limit (0xffffffff). she will wait for you forever, lowkey 🫶
• -v, --verbose — Increase the level of detail in the output. May be specified multiple times to further increase verbosity. stack her, she loves it ✨

💡 these options can also be set as machine-wide defaults in nvme-cli.conf(5). A command-line flag always overrides the file. flags stay winning, periodt 👑
