OPTIONS

19       See lvm for common options.
20
21       --aligned
22              Use with --separator to align the output columns.
23
24       --noheadings
25              Suppress  the  headings  line that is normally the first line of
26              output.  Useful if grepping the output.
27
28       --nosuffix
29              Suppress the suffix on output sizes.  Use with --units (except h
30              and H) if processing the output.
31
32       -o, --options
33              Comma-separated  ordered list of columns.  Precede the list with
34              '+' to append to the default selection of columns.  Column names
35              are:  pv_fmt,  pv_uuid,  pv_size,  dev_size,  pv_free,  pv_used,
36              pv_name,  pv_attr,  pv_pe_count,   pv_pe_alloc_count,   pv_tags,
37              pvseg_start,   pvseg_size,   pe_start.    With  --segments,  any
38              "pvseg_" prefixes are optional; otherwise any "pv_" prefixes are
39              optional.   Columns mentioned in vgs (8) can also be chosen. The
40              pv_attr bits are: (a)llocatable and e(x)ported.  Use -o help  to
41              view the full list of fields available.
42
43       --segments
44              Produces  one  line  of output for each contiguous allocation of
45              space on each Physical Volume, showing the  start  (pvseg_start)
46              and length (pvseg_size) in units of physical extents.
47
48       -O, --sort
49              Comma-separated  ordered  list  of columns to sort by.  Replaces
50              the default selection. Precede any column with - for  a  reverse
51              sort on that column.
52
53       --separator Separator
54              String  to  use to separate each column.  Useful if grepping the
55              output.
56
57       --unbuffered
58              Produce output immediately without sorting or aligning the  col‐
59              umns properly.
60
61       --units hsbkmgtHKMGT
62              All   sizes   are   output  in  these  units:  (h)uman-readable,
63              (s)ectors,  (b)ytes,  (k)ilobytes,   (m)egabytes,   (g)igabytes,
64              (t)erabytes.  Capitalise to use multiples of 1000 (S.I.) instead
65              of 1024.  Can also specify custom (u)nits e.g.  --units 3M
