DEVLINK(8)                                              Linux                                              DEVLINK(8)



NAME
       devlink - Devlink tool

SYNOPSIS
       devlink [ OPTIONS ] OBJECT { COMMAND | help }


       OBJECT := { dev | port | monitor }


       OPTIONS := { -V[ersion] | -n[no-nice-names] }


OPTIONS
       -V, -Version
              Print the version of the devlink utility and exit.


       -n, -no-nice-names
              Turn off printing out nice names, for example netdevice ifnames instead of devlink port identification.


   OBJECT
       dev    - devlink device.


       port   - devlink port.


       monitor
              - watch for netlink messages.


   COMMAND
       Specifies the action to perform on the object.  The set of possible actions depends on the object type.  As a
       rule, it is possible to show (or list ) objects, but some objects do not allow all of these operations or have
       some additional commands. The help command is available for all objects. It prints out a list of available
       commands and argument syntax conventions.

       If no command is given, some default command is assumed.  Usually it is list or, if the objects of this class
       cannot be listed, help.


EXIT STATUS
       Exit status is 0 if command was successful or a positive integer upon failure.
