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.
