# nvme-transcend-badblock(1) Manual Page

## NAME

nvme-transcend-badblock - Retrieve Transcend NVMe device's bad blocks.

## SYNOPSIS

    nvme [<global-options>] transcend badblock <device>

## DESCRIPTION

For the NVMe device given, sends the Transcend vendor command and return the bad block of the device.

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 returned value would print the amount of bad blocks.

## OPTIONS

none

## 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.

--timeout=<ms>

  Set the timeout for the command in milliseconds.

-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). A command-line flag always overrides the file.

## EXAMPLES

- Print the Transcend device’s bad blocks in a human readable format:

      # nvme transcend badblock /dev/nvme0
