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

Identify NVMe namespaces:

/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_NVME_VS=type=local,index=1,name=nvme-110G-1
AZURE_NVME_TYPE=local
AZURE_NVME_INDEX=1
AZURE_NVME_NAME=nvme-110G-1

Check azure-nvme-id version:

$ azure-nvme-id --version
