NAME
nvme-wdc-id-ctrl - Send NVMe Identify Controller, return result and structure
SYNOPSIS
nvme wdc id-ctrl <device> [--vendor-specific | -v] [--raw-binary | -b] [--human-readable | -H] [--output-format=<fmt> | -o <fmt>]
DESCRIPTION
For the NVMe device given, sends an identify controller command and provides the result and returned structure.
The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1).
This will only work on WDC devices supporting this feature. Results for any other device are undefined.
On success, the structure may be returned in one of several ways depending on the option flags; the structure may be parsed by the program or the raw buffer may be printed to stdout.
If having the program decode the output for readability, this version will decode WDC vendor unique portions of the structure.
OPTIONS
-b, --raw-binary
-v, --vendor-specific
-H, --human-readable
-o <fmt>, --output-format=<fmt>
