A significant release of the nvme-cli utility set 2.0 has been published, providing a command-line interface for managing NVM-Express (NVMe) SSDs in Linux. With nvme-cli, you can evaluate the state of the drive, view error logs, output operation statistics, manage namespaces, send low-level commands to the controller, activate advanced features, and more. The code is written in C and is distributed under the GPLv2 license.
The most significant changes that led to the creation of branch 2.0 are related to the reorganization of the codebase — the library libnvme has been separated from the package, which will now be developed in a separate repository and can be used in any project to access the functionality available in nvme-cli. Alongside nvme-cli 2.0, a release of libnvme 1.0 has been formed, stabilizing the library API. Among the functional changes in nvme-cli 2.0, new commands such as 'nvme config', 'nvme dim', 'nvme media-unit-stat-log', 'nvme gen-tls-key', and 'nvme check-tls-key' have been added.
