DESCRIPTION

+
+

The Write 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.

+
+
+
+

OPTIONS

+
+
+
+-s <slba> +
+
+--start-block=<slba> +
+
+

+ Start block. +

+
+
+-c +
+
+--block-count +
+
+

+ The number of blocks to transfer. This is a zeroes based value to + align with the kernel’s use of this field. (ie. 0 means transfer + 1 block). +

+
+
+-z <size> +
+
+--data-size=<size> +
+
+

+ Size of data, in bytes. +

+
+
+-y <size> +
+
+--metadata-size=<size> +
+
+

+ Size of metadata in bytes. +

+
+
+-d <data-file> +
+
+--data=<data-file> +
+
+

+ Data file. If none provided, contents are sent from STDIN. +

+
+
+-M <metadata-file> +
+
+--metadata=<metadata-file> +
+
+

+ Metadata file, if necessary. +

+
+
+-p <prinfo> +
+
+--prinfo=<prinfo> +
+
+

+ Protection Information field definition. +

+
+ +++ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Bit

Description

3

PRACT: Protection Information Action. When set to 1, PI is stripped/inserted +on read/write when the block format’s metadata size is 8. When set to 0, +metadata is passes.

2:0

PRCHK: Protection Information Check:

2

Set to 1 enables checking the guard tag

1

Set to 1 enables checking the application tag

0

Set to 1 enables checking the reference tag

+
+
+
+-r <reftag> +
+
+--ref-tag=<reftag> +
+
+

+ Optional reftag when used with protection information. +

+
+
+-m <appmask> +
+
+--app-tag-mask=<appmask> +
+
+

+ Optional application tag mask when used with protection information. +

+
+
+-a <apptag> +
+
+--app-tag=<apptag> +
+
+

+ Optional application tag when used with protection information. +

+
+
+-l +
+
+--limited-retry +
+
+

+ Sets the limited retry flag. +

+
+
+-f +
+
+--force-unit-access +
+
+

+ Set the force-unit access flag. +

+
+
+-T <type> +
+
+--dir-type=<type> +
+
+

+ Optional directive type. The nvme-cli only enforces the value + be in the defined range for the directive type, though the NVMe + specification (1.3a) defines only one directive, 01h, for write + stream identifiers. +

+
+
+-S <spec> +
+
+--dir-spec=<spec> +
+
+

+ Optional field for directive specifics. When used with + write streams, this value is defined to be the write stream + identifier. The nvme-cli will not validate the stream requested + is within the controller’s capabilities. +

+
+
+-D <dsm> +
+
+--dsm=<dsm> +
+
+

+ The optional data set management attributes for this command. The argument + for this is the least significant 8 bits of the DSM field in a write + command; the most significant 16 bits of the field come from the directive + specific field, if used. This may be used to set attributes for + the LBAs being written, like access frequency, type, latency, + among other things, as well as yet to be defined types. Please + consult the NVMe specification for detailed breakdown of how to + use this field. +

+
+
+-V +
+
+--show-cmd +
+
+

+ Print out the command to be sent. +

+
+
+-w +
+
+--dry-run +
+
+

+ Do not actually send the command. If want to use --dry-run option, + --show-cmd option must be set. Otherwise --dry-run option will be + ignored. +

+
+
+-t +
+
+--latency +
+
+

+ Print out the latency the IOCTL took (in us). +

+
+
+-g <storage-tag> +
+
+--storage-tag=<storage-tag> +
+
+

+ Variable Sized Expected Logical Block Storage Tag(ELBST). +

+
+
+-C +
+
+--storage-tag-check +
+
+

+ This flag enables Storage Tag field checking as part of end-to-end + data protection processing. +

+
+
+--force +
+
+

+ Ignore namespace is currently busy and performed the operation + even though. +

+
+
+-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. +
