+.TH LSBLK 8 "February 2013" "util-linux" "System Administration"
+.SH NAME
+lsblk \- list block devices
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B lsblk
+[options]
+.RI [ device ...]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B lsblk
+lists information about all available or the specified block devices.  The
+.B lsblk
+command reads the
+.B sysfs
+filesystem and
+.B udev db
+to gather information. If the udev db is not available or lsblk is compiled without udev support than it
+tries to read LABELs, UUIDs and filesystem types from the block device. In this case root permissions
+are necessary.
+.PP
+The command prints all block devices (except RAM disks) in a tree-like format
+by default.  Use
+.B "lsblk \-\-help"
+to get a list of all available columns.
+.PP
+The default output, as well as the default output from options like
+.B \-\-fs
+and
+.BR \-\-topology ,
+is subject to change.  So whenever possible, you should avoid using default
+outputs in your scripts.  Always explicitly define expected columns by using
+.B \-\-output
+.I columns-list
+and
+.B \-\-list
+in environments where a stable output is required.
+.PP
+Note that
+.B lsblk
+might be executed in time when
+.B udev
+does not have all information about recently added or modified devices yet. In this
+case it is recommended to use
+.B "udevadm settle"
+before lsblk to synchronize with udev.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.BR \-a , " \-\-all"
+Also list empty devices and RAM disk devices.
+.TP
+.BR \-b , " \-\-bytes"
+Print the SIZE column in bytes rather than in a human-readable format.
+.TP
+.BR \-D , " \-\-discard"
+Print information about the discarding capabilities (TRIM, UNMAP) for each device.
+.TP
+.BR \-d , " \-\-nodeps"
+Do not print holder devices or slaves.  For example, \fBlsblk \-\-nodeps /dev/sda\fR prints
+information about the sda device only.
+.TP
+.BR \-E , " \-\-dedup " \fIcolumn\fP
+Use \fIcolumn\fP as a de-duplication key to de-duplicate output tree. If the
+key is not available for the device, or the device is a partition and parental
+whole-disk device provides the same key than the device is always printed.
+
+The usual use case is to de-duplicate output on system multi-path devices, for
+example by \fB\-E WWN\fR.
+.TP
+.BR \-e , " \-\-exclude " \fIlist\fP
+Exclude the devices specified by the comma-separated \fIlist\fR of major device numbers.
+Note that RAM disks (major=1) are excluded by default if \fB\-\-all\fR is not specified.
+The filter is applied to the top-level devices only. This may be confusing for
+\fB\-\-list\fR output format where hierarchy of the devices is not obvious.
+.TP
+.BR \-f , " \-\-fs"
+Output info about filesystems.  This option is equivalent to
+.BR \-o\ NAME,FSTYPE,LABEL,UUID,FSAVAIL,FSUSE%,MOUNTPOINT .
+The authoritative information about filesystems and raids is provided by the
+.BR blkid (8)
+command.
+.TP
+.BR \-h , " \-\-help"
+Display help text and exit.
+.TP
+.BR \-I , " \-\-include " \fIlist\fP
+Include devices specified by the comma-separated \fIlist\fR of major device numbers.
+The filter is applied to the top-level devices only. This may be confusing for
+\fB\-\-list\fR output format where hierarchy of the devices is not obvious.
+.TP
+.BR \-i , " \-\-ascii"
+Use ASCII characters for tree formatting.
+.TP
+.BR \-J , " \-\-json"
+Use JSON output format.  It's strongly recommended to use \fB\-\-output\fR and
+also \fB\-\-tree\fR if necessary.
+.TP
+.BR \-l , " \-\-list"
+Produce output in the form of a list. The output does not provide information
+about relationships between devices and since version 2.34 every device is
+printed only once if \fB\-\-pairs\fR or \fB\-\-raw\fR not specified (the
+parsable outputs are maintained in backwardly compatible way).
+.TP
+.BR \-M , " \-\-merge"
+Group parents of sub-trees to provide more readable output for RAIDs and
+Multi-path devices. The tree-like output is required.
+.TP
+.BR \-m , " \-\-perms"
+Output info about device owner, group and mode.  This option is equivalent to
+.BR \-o\ NAME,SIZE,OWNER,GROUP,MODE .
+.TP
+.BR \-n , " \-\-noheadings"
+Do not print a header line.
+.TP
+.BR \-o , " \-\-output " \fIlist\fP
+Specify which output columns to print.  Use
+.B \-\-help
+to get a list of all supported columns.  The columns may affect tree-like output.
+The default is to use tree for the column 'NAME' (see also \fB\-\-tree\fR).
+
+The default list of columns may be extended if \fIlist\fP is
+specified in the format \fI+list\fP (e.g., \fBlsblk \-o +UUID\fP).
+.TP
+.BR \-O , " \-\-output\-all"
+Output all available columns.
+.TP
+.BR \-P , " \-\-pairs"
+Produce output in the form of key="value" pairs.  The output lines are still ordered by
+dependencies.  All potentially unsafe characters are hex-escaped (\\x<code>).
+.TP
+.BR \-p , " \-\-paths"
+Print full device paths.
+.TP
+.BR \-r , " \-\-raw"
+Produce output in raw format.  The output lines are still ordered by
+dependencies.  All potentially unsafe characters are hex-escaped
+(\\x<code>) in the NAME, KNAME, LABEL, PARTLABEL and MOUNTPOINT columns.
+.TP
+.BR \-S , " \-\-scsi"
+Output info about SCSI devices only.  All partitions, slaves and holder devices are ignored.
+.TP
+.BR \-s , " \-\-inverse"
+Print dependencies in inverse order. If the \fB\-\-list\fR output is requested then
+the lines are still ordered by dependencies.
+.TP
+.BR \-T , " \-\-tree" [ =\fIcolumn ]
+Force tree-like output format.  If \fIcolumn\fP is specified, then a tree is printed in the column.
+The default is NAME column.
+.TP
+.BR \-t , " \-\-topology"
+Output info about block-device topology.
+This option is equivalent to
+.BR \-o\ NAME,ALIGNMENT,MIN-IO,OPT-IO,PHY-SEC,LOG-SEC,ROTA,SCHED,RQ-SIZE,RA,WSAME .
+.TP
+.BR \-V , " \-\-version"
+Display version information and exit.
+.TP
+.BR \-x , " \-\-sort " \fIcolumn\fP
+Sort output lines by \fIcolumn\fP. This option enables \fB\-\-list\fR output format by default.
+It is possible to use the option \fI\-\-tree\fP to force tree-like output and
+than the tree branches are sorted by the \fIcolumn\fP.
+.TP
+.BR \-z , " \-\-zoned"
+Print the zone model for each device.
+.TP
+.BR " \-\-sysroot " \fIdirectory\fP
+Gather data for a Linux instance other than the instance from which the lsblk
+command is issued.  The specified directory is the system root of the Linux
+instance to be inspected.  The real device nodes in the target directory can
+be replaced by text files with udev attributes.

+.SH EXIT STATUS

+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+.IP LSBLK_DEBUG=all
+enables lsblk debug output.
+.IP LIBBLKID_DEBUG=all
+enables libblkid debug output.
+.IP LIBMOUNT_DEBUG=all
+enables libmount debug output.
+.IP LIBSMARTCOLS_DEBUG=all
+enables libsmartcols debug output.
+.IP LIBSMARTCOLS_DEBUG_PADDING=on
+use visible padding characters. Requires enabled LIBSMARTCOLS_DEBUG.
+.SH NOTES
+For partitions, some information (e.g., queue attributes) is inherited from the
+parent device.
+.PP
+The
+.B lsblk
+command needs to be able to look up each block device by major:minor numbers,
+which is done by using
+.IR /sys/dev/block .
+This sysfs block directory appeared in kernel 2.6.27 (October 2008).
+In case of problems with a new enough kernel, check that CONFIG_SYSFS
+was enabled at the time of the kernel build.
