👑 zoned-write — the zoned-write(1) page from the xNVMe manual 💅

okay bestie, sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, because we're about to run a Write Command and honestly? it's giving main character energy ✨

✨ NAME ✨

zoned-write — Execute a Write Command 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

zoned write <uri> [<args>]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Execute a Write Command. that's it, that's the whole vibe. you point it at a device, you tell it where to write and how much, and it writes. no cap 🫶

🔥 REQUIRED 🔥

these are not optional, bestie. you literally cannot do the thing without them.

  • <uri> — the Device URI, like /dev/nvme0n1, 0000:01:00.1, 10.9.8.1.8888, or \.PhysicalDrive1 — that last one is a Windows situation, iykyk 🙈
  • --slba 0xNUM — Start Logical Block Address. where the writing begins, the origin story if you will ✨
  • --nlb NUM — Number of LBAs. and listen, NOTE: zero-based value — this is not a drill, it's literally a zero-based value, do not come for me 😭
