+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.sp
+For the NVMe device given, sends an identify namespace command and provides the result and 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)\&. If the character device is given, the \*(Aq\-\-namespace\-id\*(Aq 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\&.
+.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 <nsid>, \-\-namespace\-id=<nsid>
+.RS 4
+Retrieve the identify namespace structure for the given nsid\&. This is required for the character devices, or overrides the block nsid if given\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\-f, \-\-force
+.RS 4
+Request controller return the identify namespace structure even if the namespace is not attached to the controller\&. This is valid only for controllers at or newer than revision 1\&.2\&. Controllers at revision lower than this may interpret the command incorrectly\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\-b, \-\-raw\-binary
+.RS 4
+Print the raw buffer to stdout\&. Structure is not parsed by program\&. This overrides the vendor specific and human readable options\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\-v, \-\-vendor\-specific
+.RS 4
+In addition to parsing known fields, this option will dump the vendor specific region of the structure in hex with ascii interpretation\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\-H, \-\-human\-readable
+.RS 4
+This option will parse and format many of the bit fields into human\-readable formats\&.
+.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\&.

+.sp

+# nvme id\-ns /dev/nvme0n1 \-\-vendor\-specific
+# nvme id\-ns /dev/nvme0n1 \-v

+.sp
+.RS 4
+.ie n \{\

+.nf
+# nvme id\-ns /dev/nvme0n1 \-\-raw\-binary > id_ns\&.raw
+# nvme id\-ns /dev/nvme0n1 \-b > id_ns\&.raw
+.fi

+It is probably a bad idea to not redirect stdout when using this mode\&.

+.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\&.

+# nvme id\-ns /dev/nvme0n1 \-\-raw\-binary | nvme_parse_id_ns
+.fi
+.if n \{\

+.sp
+The parse program in the above example can be a program that shows the structure in a way you like\&. The following program is such an example that will parse it and can accept the output through a pipe,
+\*(Aq|\*(Aq, as shown in the above example, or you can
+\*(Aqcat\*(Aq
