+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.sp
+For the NVMe device given, sends an identify NVM set list command and provides the result and returned structure\&.
+.sp
+The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1)\&.
+.sp
+On success, the structure may be returned in one of several ways depending on the option flags; the structure may be parsed by the program or the raw buffer may be printed to stdout\&.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.PP
+\-i <id>, \-\-nvmset_id=<id>
+.RS 4
+This field specifies the identifier of the NVM Set\&. If given, NVM set identifier whose entry is to be in result data will be greater than or equal to this value\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\-o <fmt>, \-\-output\-format=<fmt>
+.RS 4
+Set the reporting format to
+\fInormal\fR,
+\fIjson\fR
+or
+\fIbinary\fR\&. Only one output format can be used at a time\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\-v, \-\-verbose

+Alternatively you may want to send the data to another program that can parse the raw buffer\&.

+.sp
+The parse program in the above example can be a program that shows the structure in a way you like\&. The following program is such an example that will parse it and can accept the output through a pipe,
+\*(Aq|\*(Aq, as shown in the above example, or you can
+\*(Aqcat\*(Aq
+a saved output buffer to it\&.
