💖 NAME

nvme-wdc-log-page-directory — retrieves the list of Log IDs supported by the drive. That's the whole vibe: it goes and gets the drive's log-page directory for you. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS

nvme [<global-options>] wdc log-page-directory <device>

🌸 DESCRIPTION

Okay so for the NVMe device you give it, this retrieves the log page directory — aka the list of log page IDs that the drive supports. The --output-format option is the one that formats the output as specified. 💅

The <device> parameter is mandatory, bestie. It must be the NVMe character device, like (ex: /dev/nvme0).

This only works on WDC devices that support this feature. Results for any other device are undefined — not “probably fine,” not “try it and see,” literally undefined. 💀

On success, it returns the log page directory information; otherwise you get an error code.

💅 OPTIONS

🌈 GLOBAL OPTIONS

These are defined at the top-level nvme command and are available to this subcommand:

  • --dry-run — print the command that would be executed, but don't actually execute it. Preview mode, no consequences. 🙈
  • --no-ioctl-probing — disable probing for 64-bit IOCTL support.
  • --no-retries — disable retry logic on transient errors.
  • -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. 🎀
  • --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, periodt.
  • --quiet — suppress informational messages. Errors are still reported, and --quiet cancels any --verbose for the library log level.
  • --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).
  • -v, --verbose — increase the level of detail in the output. May be specified multiple times to further increase verbosity.

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

🦋 EXAMPLES

  • WDC log-page-directory example command:
# nvme wdc log-page-directory /dev/nvme0
