NAME

       nvme-cmdset-ind-id-ns - Send NVMe I/O Command Set Independent Identify Namespace, return
       result and structure.

SYNOPSIS

       nvme cmdset-ind-id-ns <device> [--namespace-id=<nsid> | -n <nsid>]
                               [-b | --raw-binary]
                           [--human-readable | -H]
                           [--output-format=<fmt> | -o <fmt>]

DESCRIPTION

       For the NVMe device given, sends an I/O Command Set Independent identify namespace command
       and provides the result and returned structure.

       The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe character device (ex:
       /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1). If the character device is
       given, the '--namespace-id' option is mandatory, otherwise it will use the ns-id of the
       namespace for the block device you opened. For block devices, the ns-id used can be
       overridden with the same option.

       On success, the structure may be returned in one of several ways depending on the option
       flags; the structure may be parsed by the program or the raw buffer may be printed to
       stdout.

OPTIONS

       -n <nsid>, --namespace-id=<nsid>
           Retrieve the identify namespace structure for the given nsid. This is required for the
           character devices, or overrides the block nsid if given.

       -b, --raw-binary
           Print the raw buffer to stdout. Structure is not parsed by program. This overrides the
           vendor specific and human readable options.

       -H, --human-readable
           This option will parse and format many of the bit fields into human-readable formats.

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

EXAMPLES

       •   Has the program interpret the returned buffer and display the known fields in a human
           readable format:

               # nvme cmdset-ind-id-ns /dev/nvme0n1

       •   If using the character device or overriding namespace id:

               # nvme cmdset-ind-id-ns /dev/nvme0 -n 1
               # nvme cmdset-ind-id-ns /dev/nvme0n1 -n 1
               # nvme cmdset-ind-id-ns /dev/nvme0 --namespace-id=1

       •   Have the program return the raw structure in binary:

               # nvme cmdset-ind-id-ns /dev/nvme0n1 --raw-binary > id_ns.raw
               # nvme cmdset-ind-id-ns /dev/nvme0n1 -b > id_ns.raw

           It is probably a bad idea to not redirect stdout when using this mode.
