.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
Deprecated alias for \fBnvme-ns-create\fR(1), kept for scripts written against nvme\-cli versions older than 3\&.0\&. Options and behavior are identical; only the top\-level command name is retained\&.
.sp
New scripts should use \fInvme ns create\fR instead\&. This alias prints a deprecation warning on stderr and may be removed in a future release\&.
.sp
See \fBnvme-ns-create\fR(1) for the full option reference\&.
.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\&. Other versions are rejected\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-quiet
.RS 4
Suppress informational messages\&. Errors are still reported, and \-\-quiet cancels any \-\-verbose for the library log level\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-set\-options=<key=value>[,<key=value>\&...]
.RS 4
Set libnvme library options for this invocation\&. Supported keys are
\fIforce\-4k\fR,
\fImi\-probe\-enabled\fR,
\fItest\-base\-dir\fR
and
\fItest\-sysfs\-dir\fR\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-timeout=<ms>
.RS 4
Set the timeout for the command in milliseconds\&.
\fIinfinite\fR
or
\fI\-1\fR
waits without a time limit (0xffffffff)\&.
.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
No Examples
.SH "NVME"
.sp
Part of the nvme\-user suite
.SH "SEE ALSO"
