60.Sh DESCRIPTION
61The
62.Nm
63utility can be used to enumerate the NVMe controllers and their
64namespaces, query hardware information from a NVMe controller or
65namespace, and to format or secure-erase a NVMe controller or
66namespace.
67.Pp
68The information returned by the hardware is printed by
69.Nm
70in a human-readable form were applicable.
71Generally all 0-based counts are normalized and values may be
72converted to human-readable units such as MB (megabytes), W (watts),
73or C (degrees Celsius).
74.Sh OPTIONS
75The following options are supported:
76.Bl -tag -width Ds
77.It Fl h
78Print a short help text for
79.Nm ,
80or for an optionally specified
81.Nm
82command.
83.It Fl d
84Enable debugging output.
85.It Fl v
86Enable verbose output.
87.El
88.Sh ARGUMENTS
89.Nm
90expects the following kinds of arguments:
91.Bl -tag -width "ctl[/ns]"
92.It Ar command
93Any command
94.Nm
95understands.
96See section
97.Sx COMMANDS .
98.It Ar ctl[/ns]
99Specifies a NVMe controller and optionally a namespace within that
100controller.
101The controller name consists of the driver name
102.Qq nvme
103followed by an instance number.
104A namespace is specified by appending a single
105.Qq /
106followed by the namespace ID to the controller name.
107The namespace ID is the EUI64 of the namespace, or a positive non-zero
108decimal number if the namespace doesn't have an EUI64.
109For commands that don't change the device state multiple controllers
110and namespaces can be specified as a comma-separated list.
111.Pp
112The list of controllers and namespaces present in the system can be
113queried with the
114.Cm list
115command without any arguments.
116.It Ar logpage
117Specifies the log page name for the
118.Cm get-logpage
119command.
120.It Ar feature-list
121A comma-separated list of feature names for the
122.Cm get-features
123command.
124Feature names can be specified in upper or lower case and can be
125shortened the shortest unique name.
126Some features may also have an alternative short name.
127.It Ar lba-format
128A non-zero integer specifying the LBA format for the
129.Cm format
130command.
131The list of supported LBA formats on a namespace can be retrieved
132with the
133.Nm
134.Cm identify
135command.

145prints a 1-line summary of their basic properties for each.
146If a list of controllers and/or namespaces is given then the listing
147is limited to those devices.

155The information returned differs depending on whether a controller or
156a namespace is specified.
157For an explanation of the data printed by this command refer to the
158description of the

168Most log pages are only available on a per-controller basis.
169Known log pages are:
170.Bl -tag -width "firmware"
171.It error
172Error Information
173.It health
174SMART/Health Information.
175A controller may support this log page on a per-namespace basis.

191none are given, of the specified controllers and/or namespaces.
192Feature names are case-insensitive, and they can be shortened as long
193as they remain unique.
194Some features also have alternative short names to which the same
195rules apply.

226.Xc
227Formats the specified namespace or all namespaces of the specified
228controller.
229This command implies a
230.Nm
231.Cm detach
232and subsequent
233.Nm
234.Cm attach
235of the specified namespace(s), which will cause a changed LBA format
236to be detected.
237If no LBA format is specified the LBA format currently used by the
238namespace will be used.
239When formatting all namespaces without specifying a LBA format the LBA
240format of namespace 1 will be used.
241A list of LBA formats supported by a namespace can be queried with the
242.Nm
243.Cm identify
244command.
245.Pp
246Note that not all devices support formatting individual or all
247namespaces, or support formatting at all.
248.Pp
249LBA formats using a non-zero metadata size are not supported by
250.Nm

263.Op Fl c
264.Xc
265Erases the specified namespace or all namespaces of the controller.
266The flag
267.Fl c
268will cause a cryptographic erase instead of a normal erase.
269This command implies a
270.Nm
271.Cm detach
272and
273.Nm
274.Cm attach
275of the specified namespace(s).
276.Pp

281.Cm detach
282.Ar ctl[/ns]
283.Xc
284Temporarily detaches the
285.Xr blkdev 7D
286instance from the specified namespace or all namespaces of the controller.
287This will prevent I/O access to the affected namespace(s).
288Detach will only succeed if the affected namespace(s) are not
289currently opened.
290The detached state will not persist across reboots or reloads of the
291.Xr nvme 7D
292driver.
293.It Xo
294.Nm
295.Cm attach
296.Ar ctl[/ns]
297.Xc
298Attaches the
299.Xr blkdev 7D
300instance to the specified namespace or all namespaces of the controller.
301This will make I/O accesses to the namespace(s) possible again after a
302previous
