NAME
nvme-zns-zone-append - Send an NVMe write command, provide results
SYNOPSIS
nvme-zns-zone-append <device> [--namespace-id=<NUM> | -n <NUM>] [--zslba=<IONUM> | -s <IONUM>] [--data-size=<IONUM> | -z <IONUM>] [--metadata-size=<IONUM> | -y <IONUM>] [--data=<FILE> | -d <FILE>] [--metadata=<FILE> | -M <FILE>] [--limited-retry | -l] [--force-unit-access | -f] [--ref-tag=<NUM> | -r <NUM>] [--app-tag-mask=<NUM> | -m <NUM>] [--app-tag=<NUM> | -a <NUM>] [--prinfo=<NUM> | -p <NUM>]
DESCRIPTION
The zone append command writes the logical blocks specified by the command to the medium from the data data buffer provided. Will use stdin by default if you don’t provide a file.
On success, the program will report the LBA that was assigned to the data for the append operation.
OPTIONS
-n <NUM>, --namespace-id=<NUM>
Use the provided namespace id for the command. If not
provided, the namespace id of the block device will be used. If the command is
issued to a non-block device, the parameter is required.
-s <IONUM>, --zslba=<IONUM>, -z <IONUM>, --data-size=<IONUM>
Size of data, in bytes.
-y <IONUM>, --metadata-size=<IONUM>
Size of metadata in bytes.
-d <FILE>, --data=<FILE>
Data file providing the data to write. If none provided,
contents are sent from STDIN.
-M <FILE>, --metadata=<FILE>
Metadata file, if necessary.
-l, --limited-retry
Sets the limited retry flag.
-f, --force-unit-access
Set the force-unit access flag.
-r <NUM>, --ref-tag=<NUM>
Optional reftag when used with protection
information.
-m <NUM>, --app-tag-mask=<NUM>
Optional application tag mask when used with protection
information.
-a <NUM>, --app-tag=<NUM>
Optional application tag when used with protection
information.
-p <NUM>, --prinfo=<NUM>
Protection Information field definition.
EXAMPLES
•Append the data "hello world" into 4k
worth of blocks into the zone starting at block 0 for namespace 1:
# echo "hello world" | nvme zns zone-append /dev/nvme0 -n 1 -s 0 -z 4k
