The data structure transferred to the controller +as part of this command contains security protocol specific commands +to be performed by the controller. The data structure transferred may +also contain data or parameters associated with the security protocol +commands. Status and data that is to be returned to the host for the +security protocol commands submitted by a Security Send command are +retrieved with the Security Receive command. + +The association between a Security Send command and subsequent Security +Receive command is Security Protocol field dependent as defined in SPC-4. + +OPTIONS +------- +-n <nsid>:: +--namespace-id=<nsid>:: + Target a specific namespace for this security command. + +-N <nssf>:: +--nssf=<nssf>:: + NVMe Security Specific field.
