+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.sp
+Retrieves the NVMe SMART 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 smart 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 may be printed to stdout for another program to parse\&.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.PP
+\-n <nsid>, \-\-namespace\-id=<nsid>
+.RS 4
+Retrieve the SMART log for the given nsid\&. This is optional and its success may depend on the device\(cqs capabilities to provide this log on a per\-namespace basis (see the NVMe Identify Controller for this capability)\&. The default nsid to use is 0xffffffff for the device global SMART log\&.

+.PP
+\-o <format>, \-\-output\-format=<format>
+.RS 4
+Set the reporting format to
+\fInormal\fR,
+\fIjson\fR, or
+\fIbinary\fR\&. Only one output format can be used at a time\&.
