+NAME
+----
+nvme-self-test-log - Retrieve the log information initited by device-self-test and display it
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'nvme self-test'-log <device> [--output-format=<FMT> | -o <FMT>]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Retrieves the log pages from an NVMe device corresponding to the
+requested self-test by the user and provides 20-most recent result
+returned structure.
+
+The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe character
+device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1).
+
+On success, the returned 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 or the raw buffer or the
+json format.
+
+By default the log is printed out in the normal readable format.
+
+OPTION
+-------
+-o <format>::
+--output-format=<format>::
+ Set the reporting format to 'normal', 'json', or
+ 'binary'. Only one output format can be used at a time.
