135The
136.Nm
137utility can be used to enumerate the NVMe controllers and their
138namespaces, query hardware information from a NVMe controller or
139namespace, and to format or secure-erase a NVMe controller or
140namespace.
141.Pp
142The information returned by the hardware is printed by
143.Nm
144in a human-readable form were applicable.
145Generally all 0-based counts are normalized and values may be
146converted to human-readable units such as MB (megabytes), W (watts),
147or C (degrees Celsius).

224before a firmware set is committed to a
225.Ar slot .
226.It Ar scope
227Specifies the scope of a given type of thing to look at, such as a log

487.It Sy DESC
488This is a description of the log page and generally corresponds to
489information from the specification the log page is drawn from.

514.Bl -tag -width lsp
515.It Sy lsp
516Indicates that a log specific parameter is accepted for this page.
517.It Sy lsi
518Indicates that a log specific identifier is accepted for this page.
519.It Sy rae
520Indicates that one can control whether or not an asynchronous event is
521retained when retrieving the log page.
522By default, asynchronous events are cleared when certain log pages are
523fetched such as the health log page.
524.El
525For more information on these fields, please see the NVMe specification.
526.It Sy CSI
527Indicates the log page's command set interface.
528.It Sy LID
529Indicates the log page's numeric ID.
530This when combined with the log page's CSI is the unique identifier that
531identifies the log page to the controller.
532.It Sy IMPL
533Indicates whether or not the system believes that the log page is
534implemented.
535.It Sy SIZE
536Indicates the size of the log page.
537Not all log pages have a fixed size and in such cases this field will
538not contain a value.
539.It Sy MINSIZE
540When a log page is known to have a variable size, this indicates the
541minimum amount of the log page to read to determine the full size of the
542log page.
543.It Sy SOURCES
544This is a comma separated list of values that indicates where
545information about this log page and its support came from primarily.
546These include the following:
547.Bl -tag -width identify-controller
548.It Dq spec
549This comes from the NVMe specification.
550Generally this refers to mandatory log pages that are not dependent on
551any information in the identify controller data structure.
552.It Dq identify-controller
553Information about this log page comes from the identify controller data
554structure.
555Many log pages are described by the standard but are optional and their
556support is indicated through that.
557.It Dq internal-db
558This indicates that information about this log page comes from our
559internal databases in libnvme.
560Most vendor-specific logs are described in datasheets whose information
561is encoded into the library and system and there is not always a way to
562discover that it is supported or not.
563.It Dq command
564This indicates that information about this log page came from another
565command that was issued to the controller which indicates what was
566implemented and present.
567.El
568.It Sy KIND
569This indicates the kind of log page that this is.
570Valid options are:
571.Bl -tag -width vendor-specific
572.It Dq mandatory
573Indicates that the NVMe specification considers this mandatory for all
574controllers of a given version.
575.It Dq optional
576Indicates that the NVMe specification considers this log page optional.
577Some items may be mandatory if a device implements an optional feature
578like namespace management, but they will still be considered optional as
579the underlying feature is.
580.It Dq vendor-specific
581Indicates that this log is a vendor-specific log page.
582These log pages are not part of the NVMe standard and are generally
583described in their own device's datasheets or a separate standard such
584as the
585.%T OCP Datacenter NVMe SSD Specification .
586.El
587.El
588.Pp
589The
590.Cm list-logpages
591command supports a series of operands which can be used to filter the
592list of log pages that information is printed out about.
593Each
594.Ar logpage
595operand is the name of a log page.
596Only matching log pages will be printed and if no log pages match a
597given operand argument or not log pages are printed at all
598.Pq which can happen due to a log being unsupported
599then the command will generate an error.
600.It Xo

604.Ar ctl[/ns] Ns [,...]
605.Ar logpage

607Print the specified log page of the specified controllers and/or namespaces.
608If
609.Fl O
610is specified, rather than print the contents of the log, the raw binary payload
611of the log will be written to
612.Ar output-file .
613Most log pages are only available on a per-controller basis.
614Known log pages are:
615.Bl -tag -width "firmware"
