.SH "NAME"
nvme-seagate-vs-smart-add-log \- Retrieve Seagate vendor specific extended\-SMART Information
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
.nf
\fInvme\fR [<global\-options>] \fIseagate vs\-smart\-add\-log\fR <device> [OPTIONS]
.fi
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
For the NVMe device given, sends the Seagate vendor log request and either saves the result to a file or dumps the content to stdout\&.
.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
The log contents may be associated with the controller, in which case the namespace parameter is ignored\&.
.sp
Two logs exist, page 0xC4 (Extended SMART log page) and page 0xCF (DRAM Supercap SMART log page)
.sp
This command will only work on Seagate devices supporting this feature\&. Not all commands work across all product families\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\-l <NUM>, \-\-log=<NUM>
.RS 4
Log number, page 0xC4 (Extended SMART log page) and page 0xCF (DRAM Supercap SMART log page)
.RE
.PP
\-n <NUM>, \-\-namespace\-id=<NUM>
.RS 4
Namespace number
.RE
.PP
\-o <FILE>, \-\-output\-file=<FILE>
.RS 4
Output in binary format\&. Defaults to text\-formatted dump to stdout
.RE
.SH "GLOBAL OPTIONS"
.sp
The following options are defined at the top\-level nvme command and are available to this subcommand:
.PP
\-\-dry\-run
.RS 4
Print the command that would be executed, but do not actually execute it\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-no\-ioctl\-probing
.RS 4
Disable probing for 64\-bit IOCTL support\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-no\-retries
.RS 4
Disable retry logic on transient errors\&.
.RE
.PP
\-o <fmt>, \-\-output\-format=<fmt>
.RS 4
Set the reporting format to
\fInormal\fR,
\fItabular, \*(Aqjson\fR, or
\fIbinary\fR\&. Only one output format may be used at a time\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-output\-format\-version=<version>
.RS 4
Select the output format version\&. Version
\fI1\fR
uses the original field naming, while version
\fI2\fR
(default) provides more consistent and script\-friendly field names\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-timeout=<ms>
.RS 4
Set the timeout for the command in milliseconds\&.
.RE
.PP
\-v, \-\-verbose
.RS 4
Increase the level of detail in the output\&. May be specified multiple times to further increase verbosity\&.
.RE
.sp
These options can also be set as machine\-wide defaults in nvme\-cli\&.conf(5)\&. A command\-line flag always overrides the file\&.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.sp
Get the vendor specific extended SMART information for the specified device\&.
