+nvme-cmdset-ind-id-ns(1)
+========================
+
+NAME
+----
+nvme-cmdset-ind-id-ns - Send NVMe I/O Command Set Independent Identify Namespace, return result and structure.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'nvme cmdset-ind-id-ns' <device> [--namespace-id=<nsid> | -n <nsid>]
+			[--raw-binary | -b] [--human-readable | -H]
+			[--output-format=<fmt> | -o <fmt>] [--verbose | -v]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+For the NVMe device given, sends an I/O Command Set Independent 
+identify namespace 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.
+
+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.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-n <nsid>::
+--namespace-id=<nsid>::
+	Retrieve the identify namespace structure for the given nsid. This
+	is required for the character devices, or overrides the block nsid
+	if given.
+
+-b::
+--raw-binary::
+	Print the raw buffer to stdout. Structure is not parsed by
+	program. This overrides the vendor specific and human readable options.
+
+-H::
+--human-readable::
+	This option will parse and format many of the bit fields
+	into human-readable formats.
+
+-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
+--------
+* Has the program interpret the returned buffer and display the known
+fields in a human readable format:
++
+------------
+# nvme cmdset-ind-id-ns /dev/nvme0n1
+------------
++
+
+* If using the character device or overriding namespace id:
++
+------------
+# nvme cmdset-ind-id-ns /dev/nvme0 -n 1
+# nvme cmdset-ind-id-ns /dev/nvme0n1 -n 1
+# nvme cmdset-ind-id-ns /dev/nvme0 --namespace-id=1
+------------
++
+
+* Have the program return the raw structure in binary:
++
+------------
+# nvme cmdset-ind-id-ns /dev/nvme0n1 --raw-binary > id_ns.raw
+# nvme cmdset-ind-id-ns /dev/nvme0n1 -b > id_ns.raw
+------------
++
+It is probably a bad idea to not redirect stdout when using this mode.
