  47 .SH DESCRIPTION
  48 pvdisplay allows you to see the attributes of one or more physical volumes
  49 like size, physical extent size, space used for the volume group descriptor
  50 area and so on.
  51 .P
  52 \fBpvs\fP(8) is an alternative that provides the same information
  53 in the style of \fBps\fP(1).
  54 .SH OPTIONS
  55 See \fBlvm\fP for common options and \fBpvs\fP for options given with
  56 \fB\-\-columns\fP.
  57 .TP
  58 .BR \-c ", " \-\-colon
  59 Generate colon separated output for easier parsing in scripts or programs.
  60 N.B. \fBpvs\fP(8) provides considerably more control over the output.
  61 .nf
  62
  63 The values are:
  64
  65 * physical volume device name
  66 * volume group name
  67 * physical volume size in kilobytes
  68 * internal physical volume number (obsolete)
  69 * physical volume status
  70 * physical volume (not) allocatable
  71 * current number of logical volumes on this physical volume
  72 * physical extent size in kilobytes
  73 * total number of physical extents
  74 * free number of physical extents
  75 * allocated number of physical extents
