+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.sp
+Submits an NVMe Get Feature admin command and returns the applicable results\&. This may be the feature\(cqs value, or may also include a feature structure if the feature requires it (ex: LBA Range Type)\&.
+.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 feature\(cqs structure (if applicable) may be 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\&.
