.SH OPTIONS
See \fB lvm\fP for common options.
.TP
.I \- \- aligned
Use with \- \- separator to align the output columns.
.TP
.I \- \- noheadings
Suppress the headings line that is normally the first line of output.
Useful if grepping the output.
.TP
.I \- \- nosuffix
Suppress the suffix on output sizes. Use with \- \- units (except h and H)
if processing the output.
.TP
.I \- o, \- \- options
Comma-separated ordered list of columns. Precede the list with '+' to append
to the default selection of columns. Column names are: vg_fmt, vg_uuid,
vg_name, vg_attr, vg_size, vg_free, vg_sysid, vg_extent_size, vg_extent_count,
2004-11-12 18:59:09 +03:00
vg_free_count, max_lv, max_pv, pv_count, lv_count, snap_count, vg_seqno,
2009-01-10 01:44:33 +03:00
vg_tags, vg_mda_count, vg_mda_free, and vg_mda_size.
2002-12-12 23:55:49 +03:00
Any "vg_" prefixes are optional. Columns mentioned in either \fB pvs (8)\fP
or \fB lvs (8)\fP can also be chosen, but columns cannot be taken from both

.TP
.I \- O, \- \- sort
Comma-separated ordered list of columns to sort by. Replaces the default
selection. Precede any column with - for a reverse sort on that column.
.TP
.I \- \- separator Separator
String to use to separate each column. Useful if grepping the output.
.TP
.I \- \- unbuffered
Produce output immediately without sorting or aligning the columns properly.
.TP
.I \- \- units hsbkmgtHKMGT
All sizes are output in these units: (h)uman-readable, (s)ectors, (b)ytes,
(k)ilobytes, (m)egabytes, (g)igabytes, (t)erabytes. Capitalise to use multiples
of 1000 (S.I.) instead of 1024. Can also specify custom (u)nits e.g.
\- \- units 3M
