DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
The Write command writes the logical blocks specified by the command to
|
||
|
|
the medium from the data data buffer provided. Will use stdin by default
|
||
|
|
if you don't provide a file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OPTIONS
|
||
|
|
-------
|

|
||
|
|
-s <slba>::

||
|
|
|
||
|
|
--block-count::
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
The number of blocks to transfer. This is a zeroes based value to
|
||
|
|
align with the kernel's use of this field. (ie. 0 means transfer
|
||
|
|
1 block).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
--data-size=<size>::
|
||
|
|
-z <size>::
|
||
|
|
Size of data, in bytes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
--metadata-size=<size>::
|
||
|
|
-y <size>::
|
||
|
|
Size of metadata in bytes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
--data=<data-file>::
|
||
|
|
-d <data-file>::
|
||
|
|
Data file. If none provided, contents are sent from STDIN.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
--metadata=<metadata-file>::
|
||
|
|
-M <metadata-file>::
|
||
|
|
Metadata file, if necessary.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
--prinfo=<prinfo>::
|
||
|
|
-p <prinfo>::
|
||
|
|
Protection Information field definition.

|
|
|=================
|
||
|
|
|Bit|Description
|
||
|
|
|3|PRACT: Protection Information Action. When set to 1, PI is stripped/inserted
|
||
|
|
on read/write when the block format's metadata size is 8. When set to 0,
|
||
|
|
metadata is passes.
|
||
|
|
|2:0|PRCHK: Protection Information Check:
|
||
|
|
|2|Set to 1 enables checking the guard tag
|
||
|
|
|1|Set to 1 enables checking the application tag
|
||
|
|
|0|Set to 1 enables checking the reference tag
|
||
|
|
|=================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
--ref-tag=<reftag>::
|
||
|
|
-r <reftag>::
|
||
|
|
Optional reftag when used with protection information.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
--app-tag-mask=<appmask>::
|
||
|
|
-m <appmask>::
|
||
|
|
Optional application tag mask when used with protection information.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
--app-tag=<apptag>::
|
||
|
|
-a <apptag>::
|
||
|
|
Optional application tag when used with protection information.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
--limited-retry::
|
||
|
|
-l::
|
||
|
|
Sets the limited retry flag.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
--force-unit-access::
|
||
|
|
-f::
|
||
|
|
Set the force-unit access flag.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-T <type>::
|
||
|
|
--dir-type=<type>::
|
||
|
|
Optional directive type. The nvme-cli only enforces the value
|
||
|
|
be in the defined range for the directive type, though the NVMe
|
||
|
|
specifcation (1.3a) defines only one directive, 01h, for write
|
||
|
|
stream idenfiers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-S <spec>::
|
||
|
|
--dir-spec=<spec>::
|
||
|
|
Optional field for directive specifics. When used with
|
||
|
|
write streams, this value is defined to be the write stream
|
||
|
|
identifier. The nvme-cli will not validate the stream requested
|
||
|
|
is within the controller's capabilities.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-D <dsm>::
|
||
|
|
--dsm=<dsm>::
|
||
|
|
The optional data set management attributes for this command. The
|
||
|
|
argument for this is the lower 16 bits of the DSM field in a write
|
||
|
|
command; the upper 16 bits of the field come from the directive
|
||
|
|
specific field, if used. This may be used to set attributes for
|
||
|
|
the LBAs being written, like access frequency, type, latency,
|
||
|
|
among other things, as well as yet to be defined types. Please
|
||
|
|
consult the NVMe specification for detailed breakdown of how to
|
||
|
|
use this field.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-v::
|
||
|
|
--show-cmd::
|
||
|
|
Print out the command to be sent.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-w::
|
||
|
|
--dry-run::
|
||
|
|
Do not actually send the command. If want to use --dry-run option,
|
||
|
|
--show-cmd option _must_ be set. Otherwise --dry-run option will be
|
||
|
|
_ignored_.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-t::
|
||
|
|
--latency::
|
||
|
|
Print out the latency the IOCTL took (in us).
