+NAME
+----
+nvme-list-ctrl - Send NVMe Identify List Controllers, return result and structure
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'nvme list-ctrl' <device> [--cntid=<cntid> | -c <cntid>]
+ [--namespace-id=<nsid> | -n <nsid>]
+ [--output-format=<fmt> | -o <fmt>] [--verbose | -v]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+For the NVMe device given, sends an identify command for controller list
+and provides the result and returned structure. This uses either mode
+12h or 13h depending on the requested namespace identifier.
+
+The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe character
+device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1).
+The starting controller in the list always begins with 0 unless the
+`'--cntid'` option is given to override.
+
+On success, the controller array is printed for each index and controller
+identifier.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-c <cntid>::
+--cntid=<cntid>::
+ Retrieve the identify list structure starting with the given controller id.
+
+-n <nsid>::
+--namespace-id=<nsid>::
+ If provided, will request the controllers attached to the
+ specified namespace. If no namespace is given, or set to 0, the
+ command requests the controller list for the entire subsystem,
+ whether or not they are attached to namespace(s).
+
+-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.
