+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.sp
+Retrieves an arbitrary NVMe log page from an NVMe device and provides the returned structure\&.
+.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 log structure may be returned in one of several ways depending on the option flags; the structure may be displayed in hex by the program or the raw buffer may be printed to stdout for another program to parse\&.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.PP
+\-l <log\-len>, \-\-log\-len=<log\-len>
+.RS 4
+Allocates a buffer of <log\-len> bytes size and requests this many bytes be returned in the constructed NVMe command\&. This param is mandatory\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\-i <log\-id>, \-\-log\-id=<log\-id>
+.RS 4
+Sets the commands requested log\-id to <log\-id>\&. Defaults to 0\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\-a <aen>, \-\-aen=<aen>
+.RS 4
+Convenience field for extracting log information based on an asynchronous event notification result\&. This will override log\-id and log\-len, if set\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\-n <nsid>, \-\-namespace\-id=<nsid>
+.RS 4
+Sets the command\(cqs nsid value to the given nsid\&. Defaults to 0xffffffff if not given\&. This option may not affect anything depending on the log page, which may or may not be specific to a namespace\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\-b, \-\-raw\-binary
+.RS 4
+Print the raw log buffer to stdout\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\-o <offset>, \-\-lpo=<offset>
+.RS 4
+The log page offset specifies the location within a log page to start returning data from\&. It\(cqs Dword\-aligned and 64\-bits\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\-s <field>, \-\-lsp=<field>
+.RS 4
+The log specified field of LID\&.
