+nvme-dsm - Send NVMe Data Set Management, return results
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'nvme dsm' <device>  [ --namespace-id=<nsid> | -n <nsid> ]
+			[ --ctx-attrs=<attribute-list,> | -a <attribute-list,> ]
+			[ --blocks=<nlb-list,> | -b <nlb-list,> ]
+			[ --slbs=<slba-list,> | -s <slba-list,> ]

+			[ --cdw11=<cdw11> | -c <cdw11> ]
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+For the NVMe device given, sends an Data Set Management 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.
+
+You must specify at least one of the values for range list. If the range
+lists provided do not list the same number of elements, the default
+values for the remaining in the range will be set to 0.
+
+The command dword 11 may be provided at the command line. For convenience,
+the current defined attributes (discard, integral read/write) for a
+data-set management have flags. If cdw11 is specified, this will override
+any settings from the flags may have provided.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-n <nsid>::
+--namespace-id=<nsid>::
+	Sends the command with the requested nsid. This is required for the
+	character devices, or overrides the block nsid if given.
+
+-a <attribute-list,>::
+--ctx-attrs=<attribute-list>::
+	Comma separated list of the context attributes in each range
+
+-b <nlb-list,>::
+--blocks=<nlb-list,>::
+	Comma separated list of the number of blocks in each range
+
+-s <slba-list,>::
+--slbs=<slba-list,>::
+	Comma separated list of the starting block in each range
+
+-d <deallocate>::
+--ad=<deallocate>::
+	Attribute Deallocate.
+
+-w <write>::
+--idw=<write>::
+	Attribute Integral Dataset for Write.
+
+-r <read>::
+--idr=<read>::
+	Attribute Integral Dataset for Read.
+
+-c <cdw11>::
+--cdw11=<cdw11>::
+	All the command command dword 11 attributes. Use exclusive from
+	specifying individual attributes
