+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.sp
+Retrieves the NVMe Endurance 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 endurance log structure may be returned in one of several ways depending on the option flags; the structure may parsed by the program and printed in a readable format, the raw buffer may be printed to stdout for another program to parse, or reported in json format\&.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.PP
+\-g <group>, \-\-group\-id=<group>

+.RS 4
+Set the reporting format to
+\fInormal\fR,
+\fIjson\fR, or
