LSBLK(8)

NAME
lsblk - list block devices

SYNOPSIS
lsblk [options]

lsblk [options] device...

DESCRIPTION
lsblk lists information about all or the specified block devices. The lsblk command reads the sysfs filesystem to gather information.

The command prints all block devices (except RAM disks) in a tree-like format by default. Use lsblk --help to get a list of all available columns.

OPTIONS

-a, --all
    List all block devices.

-b, --bytes
    Print the SIZE column in bytes rather than in human-readable format.

-d, --nodeps
    Don't print device holders or slaves. For example "lsblk --nodeps /dev/sda" prints information about the sda device only.

-D, --discard
    Print information about the discard (TRIM, UNMAP) capabilities for each device.

-e, --exclude list
    Exclude the devices specified by a comma-separated list of major device numbers. Note that RAM disks (major=1) are excluded by default.

-f, --fs
    Output info about filesystems. This option is equivalent to "-o NAME,FSTYPE,LABEL,MOUNTPOINT". The authoritative information about filesystems and raids is provided by the blkid(8) command.

-h, --help
    Print a help text and exit.

-i, --ascii
    Use ASCII characters for tree formatting.

-m, --perms
    Output info about device owner, group and mode. This option is equivalent to "-o NAME,SIZE,OWNER,GROUP,MODE".

-l, --list
    Use the list output format.

-n, --noheadings
    Do not print a header line.

-o, --output list
    Specify which output columns to print. Use --help to get a list of all supported columns.

-P, --pairs
    Use key="value" output format.

-r, --raw
    Use the raw output format.

-t, --topology
    Output info about block device topology. This option is equivalent to "-o NAME,ALIGNMENT,MIN-IO,OPT-IO,PHY-SEC,LOG-SEC,ROTA,SCHED".

NOTES
For the partitions are some information (e.g. queue attributes) inherited from parental device.
