.SH "NAME"
nvme-id-ns-lba-format \- Send NVMe Identify Namespace for the specified LBA Format index, display structure
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
.nf
\fInvme id\-ns\fR <device> [\-\-uuid\-index=<uuid\-index> | \-U <uuid_index>]
                    [\-\-lba\-format\-index=<lba_format_index> | \-i <lba_format_index>]
                        [\-v | \-\-verbose]
                        [\-\-output\-format=<fmt> | \-o <fmt>]
.fi
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
For the NVMe device given, sends an identify namespace for the specified LBA Format index command and provides the result that is include capability field only and returned structure\&.
.sp
The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1)\&.
.sp
On success, the structure may be returned in one of several ways depending on the option flags; the structure may be parsed by the program or the raw buffer may be printed to stdout\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\-U <uuid\-index>, \-\-uuid\-index=<uuid\-index>
.RS 4
UUID Index of the feature
.RE
.PP
\-i <lba_format_index>, \-\-lba\-format\-index=<lba_format_index>
.RS 4
This field specifies the index into the LBA Format list identifying the LBA Format capabilities that are to be returned
.RE
.PP
\-v, \-\-verbose
.RS 4
Increase the information detail in the output\&.
.RE
.PP
\-o <format>, \-\-output\-format=<format>
.RS 4
Set the reporting format to
\fInormal\fR,
\fIjson\fR, or
\fIbinary\fR\&. Only one output format can be used at a time\&.
.RE
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
Has the program interpret the returned buffer and display the known fields in a human readable format:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
# nvme id\-ns\-lba\-format /dev/nvme0n1 \-i 0
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
Have the program return the raw structure in binary:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
# nvme id\-ns\-lba\-format /dev/nvme0n1 \-i 0 \-o binary > id_ns\&.raw
# nvme id\-ns\-lba\-format /dev/nvme0n1 \-i 0 \-\-output\-format=binary > id_ns\&.raw
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
It is probably a bad idea to not redirect stdout when using this mode\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
Alternatively you may want to send the data to another program that can parse the raw buffer\&.
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
# nvme id\-ns\-lba\-format /dev/nvme0n1 \-i 0 \-\-raw\-binary | nvme_parse_id_ns
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
The parse program in the above example can be a program that shows the structure in a way you like\&. The following program is such an example that will parse it and can accept the output through a pipe,
\*(Aq|\*(Aq, as shown in the above example, or you can
\*(Aqcat\*(Aq
a saved output buffer to it\&.
