# nvme-zns-zone-mgmt-recv(1)

Zone Management Receive command

## NAME

nvme-zns-zone-mgmt-recv - Zone Management Receive command

## SYNOPSIS

```
nvme [<global-options>] zns zone-mgmt-recv <device>
                        [--namespace-id=<NUM> | -n <NUM>]
                        [--start-lba=<LBA> | -s <LBA>]
                        [--data-len=<IONUM>, -l <IONUM>]
                        [--zra=<NUM>, -z <NUM>]
                        [--zrasf=<NUM>, -a <NUM>]
                        [--zra-spec-feat, -f]
```

## DESCRIPTION

For the NVMe device given, issues the Zone Management Receive command with the requested receive action and additional action specific parameters. This is the generic interface provided for forward compatibility as new actions are created that this program isn’t aware of at the time of its development. As such, this is a generic command that does not do any additional decoding for specific types of data received. This will only report the data as a hex dump, or binary.

## OPTIONS

- \-n \<NUM\>, --namespace-id=\<NUM\>

  Use the provided namespace id for the command. If not provided, the namespace id of the block device will be used. If the command is issued to a non-block device, the parameter is required. The broadcast value 0xffffffff can also be given as *all* or *-1*.

- \-s \<lba\>, --start-lba=\<lba\>

  The starting LBA of the zone to manage receive.

\-l \<NUM\> --data-len=\<NUM\> Received data buffer length

- \-z \<NUM\>, --zra=\<NUM\>

  Zone Receive Action

\-a \<NUM\> --zrasf=\<NUM\> Zone Receive Action Specific field

- \-f, --zra-spec-feat

  Enable Zone Receive Action Specific features

## GLOBAL OPTIONS

The following options are defined at the top-level nvme command and are available to this subcommand:

- \--dry-run

  Print the command that would be executed, but do not actually execute it.

- \--no-ioctl-probing

  Disable probing for 64-bit IOCTL support.

- \--no-retries

  Disable retry logic on transient errors.

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

  Set the reporting format to *normal*, *tabular, 'json*, or *binary*. Only one output format may be used at a time.

- \--output-format-version=\<version\>

  Select the output format version. Version *1* uses the original field naming, while version *2* (default) provides more consistent and script-friendly field names. Other versions are rejected.

- \--quiet

  Suppress informational messages. Errors are still reported, and --quiet cancels any --verbose for the library log level.

- \--set-options=\<key=value\>\[,\<key=value\>...\]

  Set libnvme library options for this invocation. Supported keys are *force-4k*, *mi-probe-enabled*, *test-base-dir* and *test-sysfs-dir*.

- \--timeout=\<ms\>

  Set the timeout for the command in milliseconds. *infinite* or *-1* waits without a time limit (0xffffffff).

- \-v, --verbose

  Increase the level of detail in the output. May be specified multiple times to further increase verbosity.

These options can also be set as machine-wide defaults in [nvme-cli.conf(5)](/nvme-cli.conf/5.md). A command-line flag always overrides the file.

## EXAMPLES

• Hex dump of a report all zones

```
# nvme zns zone-mgmt-recv /dev/nvme0 -n 1 -s 0 -z 0 -a 0 -l 4k
```

• Binary dump of a report all zones

```
# nvme zns zone-mgmt-recv /dev/nvme0 -n 1 -s 0 -z 0 -a 0 -o -l 4k binary > report.out
```
