DESCRIPTION
       pvs produces formatted output about physical volumes.

OPTIONS
       See lvm(8) for common options.

       --all  Include  information  in	the output about devices that have not
	      been initialized with pvcreate(8).

       --aligned
	      Use with --separator to align the output columns.

       --nameprefixes
	      Add an "LVM2_" prefix plus the field name to the output.	Useful
	      with  --noheadings  to  produce a list of field=value pairs that
	      can be used  to  set  environment	 variables  (for  example,  in
	      udev(7) rules).

       --noheadings
	      Suppress	the  headings  line that is normally the first line of
	      output.  Useful if grepping the output.

       --nosuffix
	      Suppress the suffix on output sizes.  Use with --units (except h
	      and H) if processing the output.

       -o, --options
	      Comma-separated  ordered list of columns.	 Precede the list with
	      '+' to append to the default selection of columns.

	      Use -o pv_all to select all  physical  volume  columns,  and  -o
	      pvseg_all to select all Physical Volume segment columns.

	      Use -o help to view the full list of columns available.

	      Column   names  include:	pv_fmt,	 pv_uuid,  dev_size,  pv_name,
	      pv_mda_free,  pv_mda_size,  pv_ba_start,	pv_ba_size,  pe_start,
	      pv_size,	   pv_free,	pv_used,     pv_attr,	  pv_pe_count,
	      pv_pe_alloc_count,  pv_tags,  pv_mda_count,   pv_mda_used_count,
	      pvseg_start, and pvseg_size

	      With  --segments,	 any "pvseg_" prefixes are optional; otherwise
	      any "pv_" prefixes are optional.	Columns	 mentioned  in	vgs(8)
	      can  also	 be  chosen.  The  pv_attr  bits  are:	(a)llocatable,
	      e(x)ported and (m)issing.

       --segments
	      Produces one line of output for each  contiguous	allocation  of
	      space  on	 each Physical Volume, showing the start (pvseg_start)
	      and length (pvseg_size) in units of physical extents.

       -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.

       --rows Output columns as rows.

       --separator Separator
	      String to use to separate each column.  Useful if	 grepping  the
	      output.

       --unbuffered
	      Produce  output immediately without sorting or aligning the col‐
	      umns properly.

       --units hHbBsSkKmMgGtTpPeE
	      All sizes are output in these units: (h)uman-readable,  (b)ytes,
	      (s)ectors,  (k)ilobytes,	(m)egabytes, (g)igabytes, (t)erabytes,
	      (p)etabytes, (e)xabytes.	Capitalise to use  multiples  of  1000
	      (S.I.)  instead  of  1024.   Can	also specify custom units e.g.
	      --units 3M

       --unquoted
	      When used with --nameprefixes, output values in the  field=value
	      pairs are not quoted.
