The [Container Device Interface (CDI)](https://github.com/container-orchestrated-devices/container-device-interface) provides
a vendor-agnostic mechanism to make arbitrary devices accessible in containerized environments. To allow NVIDIA devices to be
used in these environments, the NVIDIA Container Toolkit CLI includes functionality to generate a CDI specification for the
available NVIDIA GPUs in a system.
In order to generate the CDI specification for the available devices, run the following command:\
```bash
nvidia-ctk cdi generate
```
The default is to print the specification to STDOUT and a filename can be specified using the `--output` flag.
The specification will contain a device entries as follows (where applicable):
* An `nvidia.com/gpu=gpu{INDEX}` device for each non-MIG-enabled full GPU in the system
* An `nvidia.com/gpu=mig{GPU_INDEX}:{MIG_INDEX}` device for each MIG-device in the system
* A special device called `nvidia.com/gpu=all` which represents all available devices.
For example, to generate the CDI specification in the default location where CDI-enabled tools such as `podman`, `containerd`, `cri-o`, or the NVIDIA Container Runtime can be configured to load it, the following command can be run:
