NVME-WDC-CLEAR-AS(1)              NVMe Manual             NVME-WDC-CLEAR-AS(1)

NAME
       nvme-wdc-clear-assert-dump - Clears the assert dump (if present).

SYNOPSIS
       nvme [<global-options>] wdc clear-assert-dump <device>

DESCRIPTION
       For the NVMe device given, sends the wdc vendor unique clear assert
       dump command.

       The <device> parameter is mandatory and must be the NVMe character
       device (ex: /dev/nvme0).

       This will only work on WDC devices supporting this feature. The command
       will not be executed on devices that don't support it.

OPTIONS
       None

GLOBAL OPTIONS
       The following options are defined at the top-level nvme command and are
       available to this subcommand:

       --dry-run
           Print the command that would be executed, but do not actually
           execute it.

       --no-ioctl-probing
           Disable probing for 64-bit IOCTL support.

       --no-retries
           Disable retry logic on transient errors.

       -o <fmt>, --output-format=<fmt>
           Set the reporting format to normal, tabular, 'json, or binary. Only
           one output format may be used at a time.

       --output-format-version=<version>
           Select the output format version. Version 1 uses the original field
           naming, while version 2 (default) provides more consistent and
           script-friendly field names.

       --timeout=<ms>
           Set the timeout for the command in milliseconds.

       -v, --verbose
           Increase the level of detail in the output. May be specified
           multiple times to further increase verbosity.

       These options can also be set as machine-wide defaults in
       nvme-cli.conf(5). A command-line flag always overrides the file.

EXAMPLES
       o   Clears the assert dump (if present):

               # nvme wdc clear-assert-dump /dev/nvme0
