NVME-SOLIDIGM-VS-(1)

πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

Okay so welcome to the NVME-SOLIDIGM-VS-(1) manual page, bestie. The command here is nvme-solidigm-vs-drive-info, and its whole vibe is: retrieve drive information. That’s it. That’s the mission. πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

nvme [<global-options>] solidigm vs-drive-info <device>

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

This command retrieves and displays vendor-specific drive information for the given Solidigm NVMe device. It’s giving extra lore about the drive that may not be available through standard NVMe commands. πŸ‘‘

The <device> parameter is mandatory β€” not optional, not β€œeh, maybe later,” mandatory β€” and it may be either the NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1). 🫢


πŸŽ€ OPTIONS πŸŽ€

🌍 GLOBAL OPTIONS 🌍

These options are defined at the top-level nvme command and are available to this subcommand. So yes, they’re global, but they still show up to support this command’s main character energy. ✨

  • --dry-run β€” prints the command that would be executed, but does not actually execute it. It’s the β€œlook, don’t touch” option. πŸ™ˆ
  • --no-ioctl-probing β€” disables probing for 64-bit IOCTL support.
  • --no-retries β€” disables retry logic on transient errors. No second chances, periodt. πŸ’€
  • -o <fmt>, --output-format=<fmt> β€” sets the reporting format to normal, tabular, 'json, or binary. Only one output format may be used at a time. Pick one, bestie, we’re not doing a format mashup. πŸŽ€
  • --output-format-version=<version> β€” selects 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. So v1 is the classic cut, v2 is the default polished era, and everything else gets turned away at the door. πŸ’…
  • --quiet β€” suppresses informational messages. Errors are still reported, and --quiet cancels any --verbose for the library log level.
  • --set-options=<key=value>[,<key=value>...] β€” sets libnvme library options for this invocation. Supported keys are force-4k, mi-probe-enabled, test-base-dir and test-sysfs-dir.
  • --timeout=<ms> β€” sets the timeout for the command in milliseconds. infinite or -1 waits without a time limit (0xffffffff).
  • -v, --verbose β€” increases the level of detail in the output. May be specified multiple times to further increase verbosity. More -v, more tea. πŸ“

These options can also be set as machine-wide defaults in nvme-cli.conf(5). A command-line flag always overrides the file. No cap. πŸ’–
