DESCRIPTION
       vgdisplay allows you to see the attributes of VolumeGroupName (or all volume groups if none is given)
       with it's physical and logical volumes and their sizes etc.

       vgs(8) is an alternative that provides the same information in the style of ps(1).

OPTIONS
       See lvm(8) for common options.

       -A, --activevolumegroups
              Only select the active volume groups. The volume group is considered active if at least one of
              its logical volumes is active.

       -C, --columns
              Display  output  in columns, the equivalent of vgs(8).  Options listed are the same as options
              given in vgs(8).

       -c, --colon
              Generate colon separated output for easier parsing in scripts or programs.  N.B.  vgs(8)  pro‐
              vides considerably more control over the output.

              The values are:

              1  volume group name
              2  volume group access
              3  volume group status
              4  internal volume group number
              5  maximum number of logical volumes
              6  current number of logical volumes
              7  open count of all logical volumes in this volume group
              8  maximum logical volume size
              9  maximum number of physical volumes
              10 current number of physical volumes
              11 actual number of physical volumes
              12 size of volume group in kilobytes
              13 physical extent size
              14 total number of physical extents for this volume group
              15 allocated number of physical extents for this volume group
              16 free number of physical extents for this volume group
              17 uuid of volume group


       -s, --short
              Give a short listing showing the existence of volume groups.

       -v, --verbose
              Display  verbose  information  containing  long  listings of physical and logical volumes.  If
              given twice, also display verbose runtime information of vgdisplay's activities.

       --version
              Display version and exit successfully.
