NAME

   nvme-nvme-mi-recv - Send a NVMe-MI Receive command to the specified device

SYNOPSIS

   nvme nvme-mi-recv <device> [--opcode=<opcode> | -O <opcode>]
                           [--namespace-id=<nsid> | -n <nsid>]
                           [--data-len=<data-len> | -l <data-len>]
                           [--nmimt=<nmimt> | -m <nmimt>]
                           [--nmd0=<nmd0> | -0 <nmd0>] [--nmd1=<nmd1> | -1 <nmd1>]
                           [--input-file=<file> | -i <file>]
                           [--output-format=<fmt> | -o <fmt>] [--verbose | -v]

DESCRIPTION

   Send a NVMe-MI Receive command to the specified device, return results.

   The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0) or block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1).

   On success it returns 0, error code otherwise.

OPTIONS

   -O <opcode>, --opcode=<opcode>
       The NVMe-MI opcode to send to the device in the command

   -n <nsid>, --namespace-id=<nsid>
       The value for the ns-id in the command.

   -l <data-len>, --data-len=<data-len>
       The data length for the buffer used for this command.

   -m <nmimt>, --nmimt=<nmimt>
       The value for the NVMe-MI message type in the command.

   -0 <nmd0>, --nmd0=<nmd0>
       The value for the NVMe management request dword 0 in the command.

   -1 <nmd1>, --nmd1=<nmd1>
       The value for the NVMe management request dword 1 in the command.

   -i <file>, --input-file=<file>
       If the command is a data-out (write) command, use this file to fill the buffer sent to the device. If no file is given, assumed to use STDIN.

   -o <fmt>, --output-format=<fmt>
       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.

EXAMPLES

   •   Has the program issue a nvme-mi-recv to execute the VPD read.

           # nvme nvme-mi-recv /dev/nvme0n1 -O 5 -m 1 -0 0 -1 0x100 -l 256
