NVME-ZNS-CHANGED-(1)

👑 NVME-ZNS-CHANGED-(1) 👑

okay so this is the NVMe Manual page for nvme-zns-changed-zone-list, and bestie, it's lowkey a niche one but we're gonna get through it together 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

nvme-zns-changed-zone-list — grab the Changed Zone log for the device you point at 🎯

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

nvme [<global-options>] zns changed-zone-list <device>
                        [--namespace-id=<NUM> | -n <NUM>] [--rae | -r]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so for the NVMe device you hand it, this command requests that namespace's changed zoned list log, and then it gives you back the result plus the returned structure. it's giving "show me what changed" energy fr fr ✨

the <device> parameter is mandatory — no device, no log, periodt. and it can be either the NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0) or a namespace block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1), so pick your fighter 🫶

on success, the returned list may be decoded and displayed in one of several ways. iconic behavior, honestly 👑

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -r, --rae — Retain an Asynchronous Event. yes ma'am, hold onto that event 🙈

---

🌈 GLOBAL OPTIONS 🌈

these are defined at the top-level nvme command and they're available to this subcommand too, iykyk:

• --dry-run — Print the command that would be executed, but do not actually execute it. all the vibes, zero commitment 💀
• --no-ioctl-probing — Disable probing for 64-bit IOCTL support.
• --no-retries — Disable retry logic on transient errors. one shot, no do-overs 🎀
• -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 one, bestie, you can't have all four 🌸
• --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 — so don't try it, it will not slay 😭
• --quiet — Suppress informational messages. Errors are still reported, and --quiet cancels any --verbose for the library log level. it's giving "don't talk to me unless something's on fire" 🔥
• --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 or whatever ⭐
• -v, --verbose — Increase the level of detail in the output. May be specified multiple times to further increase verbosity. the way that more -v just means more info?? obsessed 💜

these options can also be set as machine-wide defaults in nvme-cli.conf(5). A command-line flag always overrides the file — flag on top, always, no cap 👑

---

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

okay here's the fun part, let's actually do stuff:

• Get the changed zone list log for namespace 1:

# nvme zns changed-zone-list /dev/nvme0 -n 1

• Show the output in json format:

# nvme zns changed-zone-list /dev/nvme0 -o json -n 1
