💅 NVME-VIRTIUM-SHOW-IDENTIFY 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the nvme-virtium-show-identify page — it lives in the nvme manual, and it's literally just here to spill the entire tea on your device's identify info ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

nvme-virtium-show-identify — show a complete detail of identify device information in json format. that's it, that's the whole job 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

nvme [<global-options>] virtium show-identify <device>

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so this command prints the complete detail of the identify device information. like, complete complete 💖 the details include settings and a description of each feature, and those descriptions are based on the NVM Express Revision 1.3c specification — so it's giving very much "I did my homework" energy 📚

the <device> parameter is mandatory (no skipping it, bestie, it's required, periodt) and it may be either the NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1) 🔥

on success, the command prints identify device in human readable format. slay 🌈

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

none 💀 like, genuinely none. this subcommand is unbothered and thriving with zero options of its own.

👑 GLOBAL OPTIONS 👑

these ones live up at the top-level nvme command, and they're available to this subcommand too — so you're not left out 🫶

  • --dry-run — print the command that would be executed, but do not actually execute it. all the vibes of running it, zero of the consequences 🙈
  • --no-ioctl-probing — disable probing for 64-bit IOCTL support.
  • --no-retries — disable retry logic on transient errors. one shot, no second chances 💅
  • -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 — pick your fighter, not all of them ⭐
  • --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 — no gatecrashing 🚫
  • --quiet — suppress informational messages. errors are still reported, and --quiet cancels any --verbose for the library log level. so it's a "shhh" that actually overrides the "say more" 😭
  • --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). patience is a virtue fr fr 🧚
  • -v, --verbose — increase the level of detail in the output. may be specified multiple times to further increase verbosity. stack it like your fave accessories 💜
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.

💖 EXAMPLES 💖

  • Show Identify Device:
# nvme virtium show-identify /dev/nvme0n1
