.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility can be used to enumerate the NVMe controllers and their
namespaces, query hardware information from a NVMe controller or
namespace, and to format or secure-erase a NVMe controller or
namespace.
.Pp
The information returned by the hardware is printed by
.Nm
in a human-readable form were applicable.
Generally all 0-based counts are normalized and values may be
converted to human-readable units such as MB (megabytes), W (watts),
or C (degrees Celsius).
.Sh OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl h
Print a short help text for
.Nm ,
or for an optionally specified
.Nm
command.
.It Fl d
Enable debugging output.
.It Fl v
Enable verbose output.
.El
.Sh ARGUMENTS
.Nm
expects the following kinds of arguments:
.Bl -tag -width "ctl/[ns]"
.It Ar command
Any command
.Nm
understands.
See section
.Sx COMMANDS .
.It Ar ctl/[ns]
Specifies a NVMe controller and optionally a namespace within that
controller.
The controller name consists of the driver name
.Qq nvme
followed by an instance number.
A namespace is specified by appending a single
.Qq /
followed by the namespace ID to the controller name.
The namespace ID is the EUI64 of the namespace, or a positive non-zero
decimal number if the namespace doesn't have an EUI64.
For commands that don't change the device state multiple controllers
and namespaces can be specified as a comma-separated list.
.Pp
The list of controllers and namespaces present in the system can be
queried with the
.Cm list
command without any arguments.
.It Ar logpage
Specifies the log page name for the
.Cm get-logpage
command.
.It Ar feature-list
A comma-separated list of feature names for the
.Cm get-features
command.
Feature names can be specified in upper or lower case and can be
shortened the shortest unique name.
Some features may also have an alternative short name.
.It Ar lba-format
A non-zero integer specifying the LBA format for the
.Cm format
command.
The list of supported LBA formats on a namespace can be retrieved
with the
.Nm
.Cm identify
command.
.El
.Sh COMMANDS
.Bl -tag -width ""
.It Xo
.Nm
.Cm list
.Op Ar ctl[/ns][,...]
.Xc
Lists the NVMe controllers and their namespaces in the system and
prints a 1-line summary of their basic properties for each.
If a list of controllers and/or namespaces is given then the listing
is limited to those devices.
.It Xo
.Nm
.Cm identify
.Ar ctl[/ns][,...]
.Xc
Print detailed information about the specified controllers and/or
namespaces.
The information returned differs depending on whether a controller or
a namespace is specified.
For an explanation of the data printed by this command refer to the
description of the
.Qq IDENTIFY
admin command in the NVMe specification.
.It Xo
.Nm
.Cm get-logpage
.Ar ctl[/ns][,...]
.Ar logpage
.Xc
Print the specified log page of the specified controllers and/or namespaces.
Most log pages are only available on a per-controller basis.
Known log pages are:
.Bl -tag -width "firmware"
.It error
Error Information
.It health
SMART/Health Information.
A controller may support this log page on a per-namespace basis.
.It firmware
Firmware Slot Information
.El
.Pp
For an explanation of the contents of the log pages refer to the
description of the
.Qq GET LOGPAGE
admin command in the NVMe specification.
.It Xo
.Nm
.Cm get-features
.Ar ctl[/ns][,...]
.Op Ar feature-list
.Xc
Prints information about the specified features, or all features if
none are given, of the specified controllers and/or namespaces.
Feature names are case-insensitive, and they can be shortened as long
as they remain unique.
Some features also have alternative short names to which the same
rules apply.
The following features are supported:

of the
.Qq SET FEATURES
admin command in the NVMe specification.
.It Xo
.Nm
.Cm format
.Ar ctl[/ns]
.Op Ar lba-format
.Xc
Formats the specified namespace or all namespaces of the specified
controller.
This command implies a
.Nm
.Cm detach
and subsequent
.Nm
.Cm attach
of the specified namespace(s), which will cause a changed LBA format
to be detected.
If no LBA format is specified the LBA format currently used by the
namespace will be used.
When formatting all namespaces without specifying a LBA format the LBA
format of namespace 1 will be used.
A list of LBA formats supported by a namespace can be queried with the
.Nm
.Cm identify
command.
.Pp
Note that not all devices support formatting individual or all
namespaces, or support formatting at all.
.Pp
LBA formats using a non-zero metadata size are not supported by
.Nm
or
.Xr nvme 7D .
.Pp
The list of supported LBA formats on a namespace can be retrieved
with the
.Nm
.Cm identify
command.
.It Xo
.Nm
.Cm secure-erase
.Ar ctl[/ns]
.Op Fl c
.Xc
Erases the specified namespace or all namespaces of the controller.
The flag
.Fl c
will cause a cryptographic erase instead of a normal erase.
This command implies a
.Nm
.Cm detach
and
.Nm
.Cm attach
of the specified namespace(s).
.Pp
Note that not all devices support erasing individual or all
namespaces, or support erasing at all.
.It Xo
.Nm
.Cm detach
.Ar ctl[/ns]
.Xc
Temporarily detaches the
.Xr blkdev 7D
instance from the specified namespace or all namespaces of the controller.
This will prevent I/O access to the affected namespace(s).
Detach will only succeed if the affected namespace(s) are not
currently opened.
The detached state will not persist across reboots or reloads of the
.Xr nvme 7D
driver.
.It Xo
.Nm
.Cm attach
.Ar ctl[/ns]
.Xc
Attaches the
.Xr blkdev 7D
instance to the specified namespace or all namespaces of the controller.
This will make I/O accesses to the namespace(s) possible again after a
previous
.Nm
.Cm detach
command.
