# nvme-cli and libnvme

NVM-Express user space tooling for Linux: the `nvme` command line tool and
the `libnvme` library it's built on, including NVMe-oF fabrics support and
vendor plugins.

For more information on the NVM Express standard, see https://nvmexpress.org.

## Quick start

```shell
$ meson setup .build
$ meson compile -C .build
# meson install -C .build
```

It is also packaged by most Linux distributions (Alpine, Arch, Debian,
Fedora, FreeBSD, Gentoo, Ubuntu, Nix(OS), openSUSE, ...) as `nvme-cli`.

Once installed, find the top-level documentation with `man nvme`, or a short
summary with `nvme help`.
