.SH "NAME"
nvme-get-property \- Reads and shows the defined NVMe controller property for NVMe over Fabric
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
.nf
\fInvme get\-property\fR <device> [\-\-offset=<offset> | \-o <offset>]
                                [\-\-human\-readable | \-H ]

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
Reads and shows the defined NVMe controller property for NVMe over Fabric\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\-o, \-\-offset
.RS 4
The offset of the property\&. One of CAP=0x0, VS=0x8, CC=0x14, CSTS=0x1c, NSSR=0x20
.RE
.PP
\-H
.RS 4
\-\-human\-readable: Show the fields packed in the property
.RE
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
The following will run the get\-property command with offset 0
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
# nvme get\-property /dev/nvme0 \-\-offset=0x0 \-\-human\-readable
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.RE
.SH "BUGS"
.sp
Currently the CAP value is truncated to 32 bits due to a limitation in the ioctl interface\&.
.sp
In a recent enough kernel, the 64 bit value is shown in kernel traces\&.
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
First enable traces by this command
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/nvme/enable
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
Then look for NVMe Fabrics command (0x7f) at trace
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
