NAME

6       nvme-cmdset-ind-id-ns - Send NVMe I/O Command Set Independent Identify
7       Namespace, return result and structure.
8

SYNOPSIS

10       nvme cmdset-ind-id-ns <device> [--namespace-id=<nsid> | -n <nsid>]
11                               [-b | --raw-binary]
12                           [--human-readable | -H]
13                           [--output-format=<fmt> | -o <fmt>]
14

DESCRIPTION

16       For the NVMe device given, sends an I/O Command Set Independent
17       identify namespace command and provides the result and returned
18       structure.
19
20       The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe
21       character device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex:
22       /dev/nvme0n1). If the character device is given, the '--namespace-id'
23       option is mandatory, otherwise it will use the ns-id of the namespace
24       for the block device you opened. For block devices, the ns-id used can
25       be overridden with the same option.
26
27       On success, the structure may be returned in one of several ways
28       depending on the option flags; the structure may be parsed by the
29       program or the raw buffer may be printed to stdout.
30

OPTIONS

32       -n <nsid>, --namespace-id=<nsid>
33           Retrieve the identify namespace structure for the given nsid. This
34           is required for the character devices, or overrides the block nsid
35           if given.
36
37       -b, --raw-binary
38           Print the raw buffer to stdout. Structure is not parsed by program.
39           This overrides the vendor specific and human readable options.
40
41       -H, --human-readable
42           This option will parse and format many of the bit fields into
43           human-readable formats.
44
45       -o <format>, --output-format=<format>
46           Set the reporting format to normal, json, or binary. Only one
47           output format can be used at a time.
48

EXAMPLES

50       •   Has the program interpret the returned buffer and display the known
51           fields in a human readable format:
52
53               # nvme cmdset-ind-id-ns /dev/nvme0n1
54
55       •   If using the character device or overriding namespace id:
56
57               # nvme cmdset-ind-id-ns /dev/nvme0 -n 1
58               # nvme cmdset-ind-id-ns /dev/nvme0n1 -n 1
59               # nvme cmdset-ind-id-ns /dev/nvme0 --namespace-id=1
60
61       •   Have the program return the raw structure in binary:
62
63               # nvme cmdset-ind-id-ns /dev/nvme0n1 --raw-binary > id_ns.raw
64               # nvme cmdset-ind-id-ns /dev/nvme0n1 -b > id_ns.raw
65
66           It is probably a bad idea to not redirect stdout when using this
67           mode.
