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_"	 pre-
	      fixes  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
	      columns 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
