+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.sp
+The Compare command reads the logical blocks specified by the command from the medium and compares the data read to a comparison data buffer transferred as part of the command\&. If the data read from the controller and the comparison data buffer are equivalent with no miscompares, then the command completes successfully\&. If there is any miscompare, the command completes with an error of Compare Failure\&. If metadata is provided, then a comparison is also performed for the metadata\&.

+The optional data set management attributes for this command\&. The argument for this is the lower 16 bits of the DSM field in a write command; the upper 16 bits of the field come from the directive specific field, if used\&. This may be used to set attributes for the LBAs being written, like access frequency, type, latency, among other things, as well as yet to be defined types\&. Please consult the NVMe specification for detailed breakdown of how to use this field\&.
