💖 XNVME_FILE-DUMP-ASYNC 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the xNVMe manual set (section 1, the command-line girlies ✨), and it's literally all about xnvme_file-dump-async — the tool that writes a buffer of 'data-nbytes' to a file. that's the whole vibe. writing. a buffer. to a file. iconic. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

xnvme_file-dump-async — Write a buffer of 'data-nbytes' to file --data-output

like, no cap, that is exactly what it does. you hand it a size, you hand it a destination file, it writes. periodt. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

xnvme_file dump-async <data-output> [<args>]

so the shape of it is: the xnvme_file command, then the dump-async subcommand, then you must give it <data-output>, and then any <args> you wanna stack on top. lowkey simple. 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Write a buffer of 'data-nbytes' to file --data-output

that's it. that's the whole thing. it takes a buffer sized 'data-nbytes' and dumps it into the file you point at with --data-output. main character behaviour tbh. 🔥

👑 REQUIRED 👑

these are not optional, bestie. you have to bring these to the function. 🙈

  • <data-output> — Path to data output-file
  • --data-nbytes NUM — Data size in bytes

like, you literally cannot do the thing without these two. no data size? no output path? girl. 😭

💜 OPTIONAL 💜

these are the little extras you can sprinkle in if you want. all of them are wrapped in [ ] because they're optional, iykyk. ✨

  • [ --iosize NUM ] — Use given 'NUM' as bs/iosize
  • [ --qdepth NUM ] — Use given 'NUM' as queue max capacity
  • [ --direct ] — Bypass layers
  • [ --help ] — Show usage / help

--help is your bestie when you're lost, fr fr. 🎀
