NAME

6       nvme-intel-id-ctrl - Send NVMe Identify Controller, return result and
7       structure
8

SYNOPSIS

10       nvme intel id-ctrl <device> [-v | --vendor-specific] [-b | --raw-binary]
11                               [-o <fmt> | --output-format=<fmt>]
12

DESCRIPTION

14       For the NVMe device given, sends an identify controller command and
15       provides the result and returned structure.
16
17       The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe
18       character device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex:
19       /dev/nvme0n1).
20
21       On success, the structure may be returned in one of several ways
22       depending on the option flags; the structure may be parsed by the
23       program or the raw buffer may be printed to stdout.
24
25       If having the program decode the output for readability, this version
26       will decode Intel vendor unique portions of the structure.
27

OPTIONS

29       -b, --raw-binary
30           Print the raw buffer to stdout. Structure is not parsed by program.
31           This overrides the vendor specific and human readable options.
32
33       -v, --vendor-specific
34           In addition to parsing known fields, this option will dump the
35           vendor specific region of the structure in hex with ascii
36           interpretation.
37
38       -H, --human-readable
39           This option will parse and format many of the bit fields into
40           human-readable formats.
41
42       -o <format>, --output-format=<format>
43           Set the reporting format to normal, json, or binary. Only one
44           output format can be used at a time.
45

EXAMPLES

47       •   Has the program interpret the returned buffer and display the known
48           fields in a human readable format:
49
50               # nvme intel id-ctrl /dev/nvme0
