NVME-LIST(1) NVMe Manual NVME-LIST(1) NAME nvme-list - List all recognized NVMe devices SYNOPSIS nvme list [--output-format= | -o ] [--verbose | -v] DESCRIPTION Scan the sysfs tree for NVM Express devices and return the /dev node for those devices as well as some pertinent information about them. Namespace usage printed in powers of 1,000 with SI prefixes. (e.g., 1.02 TB) OPTIONS -o , --output-format= Set the reporting format to normal, json or binary. Only one output format can be used at a time. -v, --verbose Increase the information in the output, showing nvme subsystems, controllers and namespaces separately and how they're related to each other. ENVIRONMENT PCI_IDS_PATH - Full path of pci.ids file in case nvme could not find it in common locations.
