💖 NAME 💖

hiii bestie 🫶 welcome to NVME-WDC-VS-HW-R(1) from the NVMe Manual — this is the page for nvme-wdc-vs-hw-rev-log, aka the one that sends the NVMe WDC vs-hw-rev-log Vendor Unique Command and returns the result. she’s niche, she’s iconic, and she knows exactly what she’s doing 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

nvme [<global-options>] wdc vs-hw-rev-log <device>
                        [--namespace-id=<nsid> | -n <nsid>]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so for the NVMe device you give it, this retrieves and formats the Vendor Unique WDC hw revision log page. lowkey obsessed with a log page that knows its own vibe ✨

The <device> parameter is mandatory — like, required required — and it may be either the NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0) or block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1). no device, no magic, fr fr 🎀

🚨 WDC-only zone: this will only work on WDC devices supporting this feature. Results for any other device are undefined — like, do not roll the dice on that one, bestie 😭

On success it returns 0; error code otherwise. when it returns 0, we celebrate. periodt 💖

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

  • -n <nsid>, --namespace-id=<nsid> — sets the command’s nsid value to the given nsid. Defaults to 0xffffffff if not given. Heads up: this option may not affect anything depending on the log page, which may or may not be specific to a namespace. The broadcast value 0xffffffff can also be given as all or -1. iykyk 🦋

🧚 GLOBAL OPTIONS 🧚

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

  • --dry-run — print the command that would be executed, but do not actually execute it. it’s giving dress rehearsal 🎀
  • --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 ✨
  • --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 cap 🚫
  • --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). literally no clock-watching 💀
  • -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. the file knows its place, the flag comes through and slays 👑

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

  • Has the program issue WDC vs-hw-rev-log plugin Command :
# nvme wdc vs-hw-rev-log /dev/nvme0
