nvme zns id-ctrl <device> [--output-format=<fmt> | -o <fmt>]

For the NVMe device given, sends the zoned command set’s identify controller command and provides the result and returned structure​.

The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1)​.

On success, the data structure returned by the device will be decoded and displayed in one of several ways​.

-o <fmt>, --output-format=<fmt>

Set the reporting format to normal, json, or binary​. Only one output format can be used at a time​.

• Has the program interpret the returned buffer and display the known fields in a human readable format:

  # nvme zns id-ctrl /dev/nvme0

• Show the output in json format

  # nvme zns id-ctrl /dev/nvme0 -o json
