.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
Identify NVM Command Set specific Namespace data structure for the specified NSID for the NVM Command Set specified in the CSI field\&.
.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 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\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\-n <NUM>, \-\-namespace\-id=<NUM>
.RS 4
Use the provided namespace id for the command\&. If not provided, the namespace id of the block device will be used\&. If the command is issued to a non\-block device, the parameter is required\&.
.RE
.PP
\-U <uuid\-index>, \-\-uuid\-index=<uuid\-index>
.RS 4
UUID Index of the feature
.RE
.PP
\-v, \-\-verbose
.RS 4
Increase the information detail in the output\&.
.RE
.PP
\-o <format>, \-\-output\-format=<format>
.RS 4
Set the reporting format to
\fInormal\fR,
\fIjson\fR, or
\fIbinary\fR\&. Only one output format can be used at a time\&.
.RE
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
Has the program interpret the returned buffer and display the known fields in a human readable format:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
# nvme nvm\-id\-ns /dev/nvme0n1
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
If using the character device or overriding namespace id:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
# nvme nvm\-id\-ns /dev/nvme0 \-n 1
# nvme nvm\-id\-ns /dev/nvme0n1 \-n 1
# nvme nvm\-id\-ns /dev/nvme0 \-\-namespace\-id=1
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
Have the program return the raw structure in binary:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
# nvme nvm\-id\-ns /dev/nvme0n1 \-o binary > id_ns\&.raw
# nvme nvm\-id\-ns /dev/nvme0n1 \-\-output\-format=binary > id_ns\&.raw
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
It is probably a bad idea to not redirect stdout when using this mode\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
Alternatively you may want to send the data to another program that can parse the raw buffer\&.
