+NAME
+----
+nvme-list-ns - Send NVMe Identify List Namespaces, return result and structure
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'nvme list-ns' <device> [--namespace-id=<nsid> | -n <nsid>]
+ [--csi=<command_set_identifier> | -y <command_set_identifier>]
+ [--all | -a]
+ [--output-format=<fmt> | -o <fmt>] [--verbose | -v]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+For the NVMe device given, sends an identify command for namespace list
+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 starting namespace in the list always begins with 0 unless the
+`'--namespace-id'` option is given to override.
+
+On success, the namespace array is printed for each index and nsid for
+a valid nsid.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-n <nsid>::
+--namespace-id=<nsid>::
+ Retrieve the identify list structure starting with the given nsid.
+
+-y <command_set_identifier>::
+--csi=<command_set_identifier>::
+ If this value is given, retrieve the identify list structure associated
+ with the specified I/O command set.
+
+-a::
+--all::
+ Retrieve the identify list structure for all namespaces in the
+ subsystem, whether attached or inactive.
+
+-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.
+
+EXAMPLES
