.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
For the NVMe device given, send an nvme Get LBA Status admin command and provides the results\&.
.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 returned get lba data structure may be returned in one of several ways depending on the option flags; the structure may parsed by the program and printed in a readable format or the raw buffer may be printed to stdout for another program to parse\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\-n <nsid>, \-\-namespace\-id=<nsid>
.RS 4
Send the Get LBA Status command for the specified nsid\&. This can be used to override the default value for either character device (unspecified) or the block device (result from NVME_IOCTL_ID)\&. The broadcast value 0xffffffff can also be given as
\fIall\fR
or
\fI\-1\fR\&.
.RE
.PP
\-s <slba>, \-\-start\-lba=<slba>
.RS 4
Starting LBA(SLBA) in 64\-bit address of the first logical block addressed
.RE
.PP
\-m <max\-dw>, \-\-max\-dw=<max\-dw>
.RS 4
Maximum Number of Dwords(MNDW) specifies maximum number of dwords to return
.RE
.PP
\-a <action\-type>, \-\-action=<action\-type>
.RS 4
Action Type(ATYPE) specifies the mechanism it uses in determining the LBA Status Descriptors\&.
.RE
.PP
\-l <range\-len>, \-\-range\-len=<range\-len>
.RS 4
Range Length(RL) specifies the length of the range of contiguous LBAs beginning at SLBA
.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\&. 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\&.
