nvme: List all nvme devices.
$ sudo nvme list
try on your machine

The command "sudo nvme list" is used in Linux systems to display a list of all NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) devices connected to the system.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "sudo" stands for "superuser do" and is a command that allows users to run programs or commands with administrative privileges. It prompts the user to enter their password before executing the command, providing elevated privileges to retrieve sensitive information.
  • "nvme" refers to the command-line utility for managing and monitoring NVMe drives.
  • "list" is a sub-command that displays a list of all NVMe devices currently connected to the system.

In summary, the "sudo nvme list" command allows you to obtain information about NVMe devices, such as their model, namespace(s), serial number, and other relevant details.
