If no /etc/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 Diѕcovery +request will be sent to the specified Discovery Controller. + +See the documentation for the nvme-discover(1) command for further +background. + +OPTIONS +------- +-t :: +--transport=:: + This field specifies the network fabric being used for + a NVMe-over-Fabrics network.
