+nvme-fw-commit(1)
+=================
+
+NAME
+----
+nvme-fw-commit - Used to verify and commit a firmware image.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'nvme fw-commit' <device> [--slot=<slot> | -s <slot>]
+		    [--action=<action> | -a <action>]
+		    [--bpid=<boot-partid> | -b <boot-partid> ]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+For the NVMe device given, send an nvme Firmware Commit admin command
+and provides the results.
+
+The Firmware Commit command is used to verify that a valid firmware
+image has been downloaded and to commit that revision to a specific
+firmware slot. The host may select the firmware image to commit on the
+next controller reset (CC.EN transitions from ‘1’ to ‘0’, a PCI
+function level reset, and/or other Controller or NVM Subsystem Reset)
+as part of this command. The currently executing firmware revision may
+be determined from the Firmware Revision field of the Identify Controller
+data structure as indicated in the Firmware Slot Information log page.
+
+No further action is automatically taken to reset the device, which is
+usually required to complete the activation process. If your kernel and
+driver are recent enough, you can commit the firmware by issuing a
+reset through Linux sysfs, for example:
+
+------------
+ # echo 1 > /sys/class/nvme/nvme0/device/reset
+------------
+
+If your kernel is not recent enough, you will need to remove and add
+the device some other way.
+
+OPTIONS

+|=================
+|Value|Definition
+|0|Downloaded image replaces the image indicated by the Firmware Slot
+field. This image is not activated.
+|1|Downloaded image replaces the image indicated by the Firmware Slot
+field. This image is activated at the next reset.
+|2|The image indicated by the Firmware Slot field is activated at the
+next reset.
+|3|The image specified by the Firmware Slot field is requested to be
+activated immediately without reset.
+|6|Downloaded image replaces the Boot Partition specified by the Boot Partition
+ID field.
+|7|Mark the Boot Partition specified in the BPID field as active and update
+BPINFO.ABPID.
+|=================
+
+-s <slot>::
+--slot=<slot>::
+	Firmware Slot: Specifies the firmware slot that shall be used for
+	the Commit Action, if applicable. If the value specified is 0h,
+	then the controller shall choose the firmware slot (slot 1 – 7)
+	to use for the operation.
+
+--bpid=<boot-partid>::
+-b <boot-partid>::
+	Specifiies the Boot partition that shall be used for the Commit Action,
+	if applicable (default: 0)
