.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
Submits an NVMe Directive Receive admin command and returns the applicable results\&. This may be the combination of directive type, and operation, as well as number of requested resource if specific operation needs it\&.
.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 returned directive\(cqs parameter structure (if applicable) is returned in one of several ways depending on the option flags; the structure may parsed by the program and printed in a readable format if it is a known structure, displayed in hex, or the raw buffer may be printed to stdout for another program to parse\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\-n <nsid>, \-\-namespace\-id=<nsid>
.RS 4
Retrieve the feature for the given nsid\&. This is optional and most features do not use this value\&.
