+nvme-security-send - Security Send command

+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'nvme security-send' <device> [--file=<file> | -f <file>]
+ [--secp=<security-protocol> | -p <security-protocol>]
+ [--spsp=<protocol-specific> | -s <protocol-specific>]
+ [--tl=<transfer-length> | -t <transfer-length>]
+ [--nssf=<nvme-specific> | -N <nvme-specific>]
+ [--namespace-id=<nsid> | -n <nsid>]
+ [--output-format=<fmt> | -o <fmt>] [--verbose | -v]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The Security Send command is used to transfer security protocol data
+to the controller. The data structure transferred to the controller
+as part of this command contains security protocol specific commands
+to be performed by the controller. The data structure transferred may
+also contain data or parameters associated with the security protocol
+commands. Status and data that is to be returned to the host for the
+security protocol commands submitted by a Security Send command are
+retrieved with the Security Receive command.
+
+The association between a Security Send command and subsequent Security
+Receive command is Security Protocol field dependent as defined in SPC-4.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-n <nsid>::
+--namespace-id=<nsid>::
+ Target a specific namespace for this security command.
+
+-N <nssf>::
+--nssf=<nssf>::
+ NVMe Security Specific field. If using security protocol EAh
+ assigned for NVMe use, the NVMe security specific field indicates
+ which reply memory buffer target.
+
+-f <file>::
+--file=<file>::
+ Path to file used as the security protocol's payload. Required
+ argument.
+
+-p <security-protocol>::
+--secp=<security-protocol>::
+ Security Protocol: This field specifies the security protocol
+ as defined in SPC-4. The controller shall fail the command with
+ Invalid Parameter indicated if a reserved value of the Security
+ Protocol is specified.
+
+-s <security-protocol-specific>::
+--spsp=<security-protocol-specific>::
+ SP Specific: The value of this field is specific to the Security
+ Protocol as defined in SPC-4.
+
+-t <trans-length>::
+--tl=<trans-length>::
+ Transfer Length: The value of this field is specific to the
+ Security Protocol as defined in SPC-4.
+
+-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.
