+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+For the NVMe device given, sends a Data Set Management command and
+provides the result and returned structure.
+
+The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe character
+device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1).
+If the character device is given, the `'--namespace-id'` option is
+mandatory, otherwise it will use the ns-id of the namespace for the block
+device you opened. For block devices, the ns-id used can be overridden
+with the same option.
+
+You must specify at least one of the values for range list. If the range
+lists provided do not list the same number of elements, the default
+values for the remaining in the range will be set to 0.
+
+The command dword 11 may be provided at the command line. For convenience,
+the current defined attributes (discard, integral read/write) for a
+data-set management have flags. If cdw11 is specified, this will override
+any settings from the flags may have provided.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-n <nsid>::
+--namespace-id=<nsid>::
+	Sends the command with the requested nsid. This is required for the
+	character devices, or overrides the block nsid if given.
+
+-a <attribute-list,>::
+--ctx-attrs=<attribute-list>::
+	Comma separated list of the context attributes in each range
+
+-b <nlb-list,>::
+--blocks=<nlb-list,>::
+	Comma separated list of the number of blocks in each range
+
+-s <slba-list,>::
+--slbs=<slba-list,>::
+	Comma separated list of the starting block in each range
+
+-d <deallocate>::
+--ad=<deallocate>::
+	Attribute Deallocate.
+
+-w <write>::
+--idw=<write>::
+	Attribute Integral Dataset for Write.
+
+-r <read>::
+--idr=<read>::
+	Attribute Integral Dataset for Read.
+
+-c <cdw11>::
+--cdw11=<cdw11>::
+	All the command command dword 11 attributes. Use exclusive from
+	specifying individual attributes
+
+-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.
