azure-nvme-id(8)

👑 azure-nvme-id(8) — the user manual bestie 💅

okay so picture this: it's azure-nvme-id, section 8 of the user manual, and it is literally the device-ID bestie for Azure NVMe drives. no cap. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

azure-nvme-id — identify Azure NVMe devices 🌸

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

azure-nvme-id [--debug] [--format {plain|json}] [--help | --version |
--udev]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

azure-nvme-id provides identification metadata in the response to Identify Namespace command for some models of NVMe devices. it's giving detective energy 🔍 — that metadata lives in the vendor-specific (vs) field, which contains various identification details in a comma-separated, key=value format.

what it does is so iconic: azure-nvme-id combines this metadata with the make and model of NVMe device namespaces to identify a device by type, name, index, etc. output options are plain or json, your call, main character energy either way ✨

and for the udev girlies: to support udev rules, the --udev option will invoke azure-nvme-id in udev mode. periodt. 🎀

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --debug — debug mode with additional logging. so chatty, so helpful 🙈
• --format {plain|json} — output format, default is plain.
• --help — show usage information and exit. shortest conversation ever 💀
• --udev — run in udev mode, printing a set of <key>=<value> variables consumed by udev rules. requires DEVNAME to be set in environment.
• --version — show version information and exit. 🏆

---

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

🍓 identify NVMe namespaces:

$ sudo azure-nvme-id
/dev/nvme0n1:
/dev/nvme1n1: type=local,index=1,name=nvme-110G-1

🧚 parse device identifiers for udev consumption:

$ sudo env DEVNAME=/dev/nvme1n1 azure-nvme-id --udev
AZURE_DISK_VS=type=local,index=1,name=nvme-110G-1
AZURE_DISK_TYPE=local
AZURE_DISK_INDEX=1
AZURE_DISK_NAME=nvme-110G-1

⭐ check azure-nvme-id version:

$ azure-nvme-id --version
azure-nvme-id 0.1.2
