+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.sp
+Submits an NVMe Directive Send admin command and returns the applicable results\&. This may be the combination of directive type, and operation, as well as target directive and its enable/disable status of the operation, if specific operation needs it\&.
+.sp
+The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1)\&.
+.sp
+On success, the returned directive\(cqs parameter structure (if applicable) is returned in one of several ways depending on the option flags; the structure may parsed by the program and printed in a readable format if it is a known structure, displayed in hex, or the raw buffer may be printed to stdout for another program to parse\&.
