💅 nvme-sndk-vs-nand-stats — bestie's guide to the NAND stats command ✨

okay so real talk, this is a page from the NVMe Manual and it's all about nvme-sndk-vs-nand-stats, which is genuinely one of those iykyk commands. it sends a Vendor Unique sndk vs-nand-stats command and hands you back the result. let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

nvme-sndk-vs-nand-stats — literally sends the NVMe sndk vs-nand-stats Vendor Unique Command and returns the result. that's the whole vibe. 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

nvme [<global-options>] sndk vs-nand-stats <device>

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So for the NVMe device you pass in, this bad boy sends a Vendor Unique sndk vs-nand-stats command and outputs the NAND statistics. and the --output-format option will format the output exactly as you specified — no cap. 💅

The <device> parameter is mandatory, bestie, don't forget it. it can be either the NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0). that's it, that's the requirement. 🫶

⚠️ heads up: this will only work on Sandisk devices supporting this feature. results for any other device are undefined — like, we literally can't tell you what happens, so maybe don't 😭

On success it returns the NAND statistics. otherwise, error code. simple as that. ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

🌈 GLOBAL OPTIONS 🌈

okay so these are the options defined at the top-level nvme command, and they're all available to this subcommand too. sharing is caring 💖

  • --dry-run — prints the command that would be executed, but doesn't actually execute it. it's giving "look but don't touch" energy 👀
  • --no-ioctl-probing — disables probing for 64-bit IOCTL support. yeah. that. 🦋
  • --no-retries — disables retry logic on transient errors. one shot, one opportunity 🎯
  • -o <fmt>, --output-format=<fmt> — sets the reporting format to normal, tabular, json, or binary. only one output format at a time, so pick your fave and commit, bestie 💅
  • --output-format-version=<version> — selects the output format version. version 1 uses the original field naming, while version 2 (the default, lowkey the main character) provides more consistent and script-friendly field names. other versions are rejected — do not come for them 🙈
  • --quiet — suppresses informational messages. errors are still reported, and --quiet cancels any --verbose for the library log level. it's giving "shhh, i'm focusing" 🤫
  • --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. mix and match, slay ✨
  • --timeout=<ms> — sets the timeout for the command in milliseconds. infinite or -1 waits without a time limit (0xffffffff). no clock pressure, no stress 🕰️
  • -v, --verbose — increases the level of detail in the output. may be specified multiple times to further increase verbosity. stack it, bestie, go off 📈
💡 these options can also be set as machine-wide defaults in nvme-cli.conf(5). a command-line flag always overrides the file — CLI stays on top, periodt 👑

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

  • has the program issue sndk vs-nand-stats Vendor Unique Command:
# nvme sndk vs-nand-stats /dev/nvme0

look at that. iconic. it just works 💜

🎀 aaaand that's the whole page, bestie — brought to you by the NVMe manual, dated 10/30/2026, from the NVME-SNDK-VS-NAND(1) era. go get those NAND stats, ily, drink water 💖✨🦋
