+ [--data-len=<IONUM>, -l <IONUM>]
+ [-data=<FILE>, -d <FILE>]

+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+For the NVMe device given, issues the Zone Management Send command with the
+requested send action. If the send requires additional data, you may specify
+the data length. If data is required, the input will default to stdin.
+Alternatively, the data may come from a file that can be specified.
+

+
+-s <lba>::
+--start-lba=<lba>::
+ The starting LBA of the zone to manage send.
+
+-l <NUM>::
+--data-len=<NUM>::

+EXAMPLES
+--------
+* Send a zone management command with action set to 1 (close zone) to namespace
+ 1's first zone:
++
+------------
+# nvme zns zone-mgmt-send /dev/nvme0 -n 1 -s 0 -z 1
+------------
++
+
+* Write "hello world" into the zone descriptor for namespace 1's first zone
+ (requires device supports a large enough zone extended data)
++
+------------
+# echo "hello world" | nvme zns zone-mgmt-send /dev/nvme0 -n 1 -s 0 -z 0x10
