DESCRIPTION

       The Copy command is used by the host to copy data from one or more source logical block
       ranges to a single consecutive destination logical block range.

OPTIONS

       -d <sdlba>, --sdlba=<sdlba>
           64-bit addr of first destination logical block

       -b <nlb-list,>, --blocks=<nlb-list,>
           Comma separated list of the number of blocks in each range

       -s <slbas,>, --slbs=<slbas,>
           Comma separated list of the starting blocks in each range

       --snsids=<snsids,>, -N <snsids,>
           Comma separated list of the source namespace identifiers in each range

       --sopts=<sopts,>, -O <sopts,>
           Comma separated list of the source options in each range

       -l, --limited-retry
           Sets the limited retry flag.

       -f, --force-unit-access
           Set the force-unit access flag.

       -p <prinfow>, --prinfow=<prinfow>
           Protection Information field write definition.

       -P <prinfor>, --prinfor=<prinfor>
           Protection Information field read definition.

       -r <reftag>, --ref-tag=<reftag>
           initial lba reference tag.

       -R <reftag,>, --expected-ref-tags=<reftag,>
           expected lba reference tags (comma-separated list).

       -a <apptag>, --app-tag=<apptag>
           lba app tag

       -A <apptag,>, --expected-app-tags=<apptag,>
           expected lba app tags (comma-separated list)

       -m <appmask>, --app-mask=<appmask>
           lba tag mask

       -M <appmask,>, --expected-app-masks=<appmask,>
           expected lba tag masks (comma-separated list)

       -T <type>, --dir-type=<type>
           Optional directive type. The nvme-cli only enforces the value be in the defined range
           for the directive type, though the NVMe specification (1.3a) defines only one
           directive, 01h, for write stream identifiers.

       -S <spec>, --dir-spec=<spec>
           Optional field for directive specifics. When used with write streams, this value is
           defined to be the write stream identifier. The nvme-cli will not validate the stream
           requested is within the controller’s capabilities.

       -F <entry-format>, --format=<entry-format>
           source range entry format

       -o <fmt>, --output-format=<fmt>
           Set the reporting format to normal, json or binary. Only one output format can be used
           at a time.

       -v, --verbose
           Increase the information detail in the output.
