+NAME
+----
+nvme-ocp-internal-log - Conditionally retrieves 07h Telemetry Host-Initiated
+log, C9h OCP Strings Log from an NVMe device or from user-specified file path.
+Takes retrieved logs and decodes into human-readable output format specified by
+user.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'nvme ocp internal-log' <device>
+ [--telemetry-log=<file> | -l <file>]
+ [--string-log=<file> | -s <file>]
+ [--output-file=<file> | -o <file>]
+ [--output-format=<fmt> | -f <fmt>]
+ [--data-area=<da> | -a <da>]
+ [--telemetry-type=<type> | -t <type>]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Conditionally retrieves 07h Telemetry Host-Initiated log, C9h OCP Strings Log
+from an NVMe device or from user-specified file path. Takes retrieved logs and
+decodes (or) parses into human-readable output format specified by user.
+
+The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe
+character device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex:
+/dev/nvme0n1).
+
+This will only work on OCP compliant devices supporting this feature.
+Results for any other device are undefined.
+
+On success it returns 0, error code otherwise.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-l <file>::
+--telemetry-log=<file>::
+ File name to existing Telemetry Host-Initiated raw binary data to be used.
+ If no path is specified, a live retrieval of payload on <device> will be
+ performed.
+
+-s <file>::
+--string-log=<file>::
+ File name to existing OCP String Log raw binary data to be used. If no path
+ is specified, a live retrieval of payload on <device> will be
+ performed.
+
+-o <file>::
+--output-file=<file>::
+ Filepath name to where human-readable output data will be saved to.
+
+-f <fmt>::
+--output-format=<fmt>::
+ Set the reporting format to 'normal', 'json'. Only one output format can be
+ used at a time, the default value is 'json'.
+
+-a <da>::
+--data-area=<da>::
+ Retrieves the specific data area requested. Valid inputs are 1,2. If this
+ option is not specified, the default value is 1.
+
+-t <type>::
+--telemetry-type=<type>::
+ If set to 1, controller shall capture the Telemetry Host-Initiated data
+ representing the internal state of the controller at the time the associated
+ Get Log Page command is processed. If cleared to 0, controller shall not
+ update this data.
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+* Retrieve in both OCP String Log and Telemetry Host-Initiated Log from
+device. Decode default data-area(s) in default format and output to console.
++
+----------------------------------
+# nvme ocp internal-log /dev/nvme0
+----------------------------------
+
+* Retrieve Telemetry Host-Initiated data, reads in the OCP String Log locally.
+Decode default data-area(s) in default format.
++
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+# nvme ocp internal-log /dev/nvme0 --string-log=ocp_string_log.bin
+ --output-file=output_file.json
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* Retrieve OCP String Log, reads in the Telemetry Host-Initiated Log locally.
+Decode data-areas 1 and 2, and output in json format.
++
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+# nvme ocp internal-log /dev/nvme0 --telemetry-log=host_telemetry.bin
+ --output-format=json --output-file=output_file.json --data-area=2
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* Reads in both OCP String Log and Telemetry Host-Initiated Log locally.
+Decode data-areas 1 and 2, and output in normal text format.
++
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+# nvme ocp internal-log /dev/nvme0 --string-log=ocp_string_log.bin
+ --telemetry-log=host_telemetry.bin --output-format=normal
+ --output-file=output_file.txt --data-area=2
