NAME

       azure-nvme-id - identify Azure NVMe devices

SYNOPSIS

       azure-nvme-id [--debug] [--format {plain|json}] [--help | --version | --udev]

DESCRIPTION

       azure-nvme-id  provides  identification  metadata  in the response to Identify Namespace command for some
       models of NVMe devices.  This is found in vendor-specific (vs) field which contains  various  identifica‐
       tion details with a comma-separated, key=value format.

       azure-nvme-id  combines this metadata with the make and model of NVMe device namespaces to identify a de‐
       vice by type, name, index, etc.  Output options are plain or json.

       To suppoort udev rules, --udev option will invoke azure-nvme-id in udev mode.

OPTIONS

       --debug
              Debug mode with additional logging.

       --format {plain|json}
              Output format, default is plain.

       --help Show usage information and exit.

       --udev Run in udev mode, printing a set of <key>=<value> variables consumed by udev rules.  Requires DEV‐
              NAME to be set in environment.

       --version
              Show version information and exit.

EXAMPLES

       Identify NVMe namespaces:

              $ sudo azure-nvme-id
              /dev/nvme0n1:
              /dev/nvme1n1: type=local,index=1,name=nvme-110G-1

       Parse device identifiers for udev consumption:

              $ sudo env DEVNAME=/dev/nvme1n1 azure-nvme-id --udev
              AZURE_DISK_VS=type=local,index=1,name=nvme-110G-1
              AZURE_DISK_TYPE=local
              AZURE_DISK_INDEX=1
              AZURE_DISK_NAME=nvme-110G-1

       Check azure-nvme-id version:

              $ azure-nvme-id --version
              azure-nvme-id 0.1.2
