The parameter is mandatory NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0). Expected status and description :- +------------+----------------------------+ |Status Code | Description | +------------+----------------------------+ |0x0000 | NVM subsystem has never | | | been sanitized. | +------------+----------------------------+ |0x0001 | The most recent sanitize | | | operation completed | | | successfully. | +------------+----------------------------+ |0x0002 | A sanitize operation is | | | currently in progress. | +------------+----------------------------+ |0x0003 | The most recent sanitize | | | operation failed. | +------------+----------------------------+ |0x0100 | Global Data Erased bit If | | | set to 1 then non-volatile | | | storage in the NVM | | | subsystem has not been | | | written to: a) since being | | | manufactured and the NVM | | | subsystem has never been | | | sanitized; or b) since the | | | most recent successful | | | sanitize operation. If | | | cleared to 0, then | | | non-volatile storage in | | | the NVM subsystem has been | | | written to: a) since being | | | manufactured and the NVM | | | subsystem has never been | | | sanitized; or b) since the | | | most recent successful | | | sanitize operation of the | | | NVM subsystem. | +------------+----------------------------+ Sanitize Progress - percentage complete On success it returns 0, error code otherwise. OPTIONS -r, --rae Retain an Asynchronous Event. -H, --human-readable This option will parse and format many of the bit fields into human-readable formats. -b, --raw-binary Print the raw buffer to stdout. Structure is not parsed by program. This overrides the vendor specific and human readable 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 detail in the output.
