lvmiopversion(1)
NAME
lvmiopversion - program to report LVM protocol version
SYNOPSIS
lvmiopversion lvmtoolname [options]...
DESCRIPTION
- When invoked as lvmiopversion, the program reports the LVM
- protocol version of the currently running kernel. However, when
- invoked otherwise (eg as {program}), it acts as a wrapper, and it
- will execute the program /sbin/lvm-{version}/{program} where
- {version} is the protocol version. For example, if it were called
- as vgscan -a, it might execute /sbin/lvm-10/vgscan -a.
- If it cannot determine the protocol version when invoked
- as a wrapper (which may be because it does not have root permis
- sions), it will execute /sbin/lvm-default/{program};
- /sbin/lvm-default should be a symlink, and under Debian this is
- set up via the alternatives mechanism.
OPTIONS
- The program itself does not take any options; however,
- when invoked as a wrapper, the programs it executes in turn may
- take options.
