+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\(cqs capabilities\&.

+.RS 4
+The optional data set management attributes for this command\&. The argument for this is the least significant 8 bits of the DSM field in a write command; the most significant 16 bits of the field come from the directive specific field, if used\&. This may be used to set attributes for the LBAs being written, like access frequency, type, latency, among other things, as well as yet to be defined types\&. Please consult the NVMe specification for detailed breakdown of how to use this field\&.
