+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.sp
+For the NVMe device given, sends an Data Set Management 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
+You must specify at least one of the values for range list\&. If the range lists provided do not list the same number of elements, the default values for the remaining in the range will be set to 0\&.
+.sp
+The command dword 11 may be provided at the command line\&. For convenience, the current defined attributes (discard, integral read/write) for a data\-set management have flags\&. If cdw11 is specified, this will override any settings from the flags may have provided\&.
