+nvme-id-nvmset \- Send NVMe Identify NVM Set List, return result and structure
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"

+\fInvme id\-nvmset\fR <device> [\-i <id> | \-\-nvmset_id=<id> ]
+ [\-o <fmt> | \-\-output\-format=<fmt>]
+.fi
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.sp
+For the NVMe device given, sends an identify NVM set list 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)\&.
+.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
+\-i <id>, \-\-nvmset_id=<id>
+.RS 4
+This field specifies the identifier of the NVM Set\&. If given, NVM set identifier whose entry is to be in result data will be greater than or equal to this value\&.
+.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\&.

+.ie n \{\
+\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c

+Has the program interpret the returned buffer and display the known fields in a human readable format:

+.nf
+# nvme id\-nvmset /dev/nvme0

+.ie n \{\

+.el \{\

+Have the program return the raw structure in binary:
+.sp
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+# nvme id\-nvmset /dev/nvme0 \-\-output\-format=binary > id_nvmset\&.raw
+# nvme id\-nvmset /dev/nvme0 \-o binary > id_nvmset\&.raw
+.fi
+.if n \{\

+.sp
+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\&.
+.sp
+.if n \{\

+.\}
+.nf
+# nvme id\-nvmset /dev/nvme0 \-o binary | nvme_parse_id_nvmset
+.fi
+.if n \{\
+.RE
+.\}
+.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
+a saved output buffer to it\&.
