If no @SYSCONFDIR@/nvme/discovery.conf file +exists, the command will quit with an error. + +Otherwise a specific Discovery Controller should be specified using the +--transport, --traddr and if necessary the --trsvcid and a Discovery +request will be sent to the specified Discovery Controller. + +See the documentation for the nvme-discover(1) command for further +background. + +OPTIONS +------- +-t <trtype>:: +--transport=<trtype>:: + This field specifies the network fabric being used for + a NVMe-over-Fabrics network.
