+.TH LSMTD 8 "April 2017" "mtd-utils"
+.SH NAME
+lsmtd \- list memory technology devices
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B lsmtd
+[options]
+.RI [ device ...]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B lsmtd
+lists information about all available or the specified MTD and UBI devices.
+The
+.B lsmtd
+command reads the
+.B sysfs
+filesystem to gather information. Alternatively, the
+.B procfs
+filesystem and ioctl interfaces are used, should the sysfs filesytem not
+be available.
+.PP
+The command prints all MTD and UBI devices in a pretty-printed list format by
+default.
+.PP
+The default output is subject to change. So whenever possible, you should
+avoid using default outputs in your scripts. Always explicitly define expected
+columns by using
+.B \-\-output
+.I columns-list
+in environments where a stable output is required.
+.PP
+Use
+.B "lsmtd --help"
+to get a list of all available columns.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.BR \-b , " \-\-bytes"
+Print columns with size quantities (e.g. erase block size) in bytes instead
+of a human-readable format.
+.TP
+.BR \-h , " \-\-help"
+Display a help text and exit.
+.TP
+.BR \-i , " \-\-ascii"
+Only use ascii characters for pretty printing.
+.TP
+.BR \-J , " \-\-json"
+Use JSON output format. All potentially unsafe characters in string values are
+escaped with JSON escape sequences or hex-escaped (\\u<code>).
+.TP
+.BR \-l , " \-\-list"
+Use a pretty-printed list output format (default).
+.TP
+.BR \-m , " \-\-no-ubi"
+Do not display information about UBI devices or volumes.
+.TP
+.BR \-n , " \-\-noheadings"
+Do not print column headings when using raw or list output format.
+.TP
+.BR \-o , " \-\-output " \fIlist\fP
+Specify which output columns to print.  Use
+.B \-\-help
+to get a list of all supported columns.
+
+The default list of columns may be extended if \fIlist\fP is
+specified in the format \fI+list\fP (e.g. \fBlsmtd -o +EB-SIZE\fP).
+.TP
+.BR \-O , " \-\-output\-all "
+Output all available columns.
+.TP
+.BR \-P , " \-\-pairs"
+Produce output in the form of key="value" pairs.
+All potentially unsafe characters are hex-escaped (\\x<code>).
+.TP
+.BR \-r , " \-\-raw"
+Produce output in raw format. All potentially unsafe characters are
+hex-escaped (\\x<code>).
+.TP
+.BR \-u , " \-\-si\-units"
+Display human readable sizes as powers of ten rather than powers of two.
+.TP
+.BR \-V , " \-\-version"
+Print version information and exit.
+.TP
+.BR \-x , " \-\-sort " \fIcolumn\fP
+Sort output lines by \fIcolumn\fP.
+.SH NOTES
+If the
+.B \-\-bytes
+option is not specified, the JSON output format prints sizes as string values
+even if they do not have a suffix.
