- -l, --list

- -v, --verbose
- Display verbose runtime information about vgmerge's activities.
Examples
"vgmerge -v databases my_vg" merges the inactive volume group named "my_vg" into the active or inactive volume group named "databases" giving verbose runtime information.Important: Use the man command (% man) to see how a command is used on your particular computer.
