+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------

+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+NVM-Express is a fast, scalable host controller interface designed to
+address the needs for not only PCI Express based solid state drives, but
+also NVMe-oF(over fabrics).
+
+This 'nvme' program is a user space utility to provide standards compliant
+tooling for NVM-Express drives. It was made specifically for Linux as
+it relies on the IOCTLs defined by the mainline kernel driver.
+
+NVME COMMANDS
+-------------
+The utility has sub-commands for all admin and io commands defined in the
+specification and for displaying controller registers. There is also an
+option to submit completely arbitrary commands. For a list of commands
+available, run "nvme help".
