NAME
       pvs - report information about physical volumes

SYNOPSIS
       pvs  [--aligned]	 [-d/--debug]  [-h/-?/--help] [--ignorelockingfailure]
       [--noheadings] [--nosuffix] [-o/--options [+]Field[,Field]]  [-O/--sort
       [+/-]Key1[,[+/-]Key2[,...]]]   [--separator  Separator]	[--unbuffered]
       [--units	 hsbkmgtHKMGT]	[-v/--verbose]	 [--version]   [PhysicalVolume
       [PhysicalVolume...]]

DESCRIPTION
       pvs produces formatted output about physical volumes.

OPTIONS
       See lvm for common options.

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

       --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.  Column names
	      are:  pv_fmt,  pv_uuid,  pv_size,	 dev_size,  pv_free,  pv_used,
	      pv_name,	pv_attr,  pv_pe_count,	 pv_pe_alloc_count,   pv_tags,
	      pvseg_start,   pvseg_size,   pe_start.	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 and e(x)ported.  Use -o help  to
	      view the full list of fields available.

       --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.

       --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 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
