+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The Copy command is used by the host to copy data from one or more source
+logical block ranges to a single consecutive destination logical block range.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-d <sdlba>::
+--sdlba=<sdlba>::
+ 64-bit addr of first destination logical block
+
+-b <nlb-list,>::
+--blocks=<nlb-list,>::
+ Comma separated list of the number of blocks in each range
+
+-s <slbas,>::
+--slbs=<slbas,>::
+ Comma separated list of the starting blocks in each range
+
+--snsids=<snsids,>::
+-N <snsids,>::
+ Comma separated list of the source namespace identifiers in each range
+
+--sopts=<sopts,>::
+-O <sopts,>::
+ Comma separated list of the source options in each range
+
+-l::
+--limited-retry::
+ Sets the limited retry flag.
+
+-f::
+--force-unit-access::
+ Set the force-unit access flag.
+
+-p <prinfow>::
+--prinfow=<prinfow>::
+ Protection Information field write definition.
+
+-P <prinfor>::
+--prinfor=<prinfor>::
+ Protection Information field read definition.
+
+-r <reftag>::
+--ref-tag=<reftag>::
+ initial lba reference tag.
+
+-R <reftag,>::
+--expected-ref-tags=<reftag,>::
+ expected lba reference tags (comma-separated list).
+
+-a <apptag>::
+--app-tag=<apptag>::
+ lba app tag
+
+-A <apptag,>::
+--expected-app-tags=<apptag,>::
+ expected lba app tags (comma-separated list)
+
+-m <appmask>::
+--app-mask=<appmask>::
+ lba tag mask
+
+-M <appmask,>::
+--expected-app-masks=<appmask,>::
+ expected lba tag masks (comma-separated list)
+
+-T <type>::
+--dir-type=<type>::
+ Optional directive type. The nvme-cli only enforces the value
+ be in the defined range for the directive type, though the NVMe
+ specification (1.3a) defines only one directive, 01h, for write
+ stream identifiers.
+
+-S <spec>::
+--dir-spec=<spec>::
+ 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's capabilities.
+
+-F <entry-format>::
+--format=<entry-format>::
+ source range entry format
+
+-o <fmt>::
+--output-format=<fmt>::
+ Set the reporting format to 'normal', 'json' or 'binary'. Only one
+ output format can be used at a time.
+
+-v::
+--verbose::
+ Increase the information detail in the output.
