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. + +The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe character +device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1). + +On success, the returned directive's 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. + +OPTIONS +------- +-n <nsid>:: +--namespace-id=<nsid>:: + Retrieve the feature for the given nsid.
