.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
The Copy command is used by the host to copy data from one or more source logical block ranges to a single consecutive destination logical block range\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\-\-sdlba=<sdlba>, \-d <sdlba>
.RS 4
64\-bit addr of first destination logical block
.RE
.PP
\-\-blocks=<nlb\-list,>, \-b <nlb\-list,>
.RS 4
Comma separated list of the number of blocks in each range
.RE
.PP
\-\-slbs=<slbas,>, \-s <slbas,>
.RS 4
Comma separated list of the starting blocks in each range
.RE
.PP
\-\-limited\-retry, \-l
.RS 4
Sets the limited retry flag\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-force\-unit\-access, \-f
.RS 4
Set the force\-unit access flag\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-prinfow=<prinfow>, \-p <prinfow>
.RS 4
Protection Information field write definition\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-prinfor=<prinfor>, \-P <prinfor>
.RS 4
Protection Information field read definition\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-ref\-tag=<reftag>, \-r <reftag>
.RS 4
initial lba reference tag\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-expected\-ref\-tags=<reftag,>, \-R <reftag,>
.RS 4
expected lba reference tags (comma\-separated list)\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-app\-tag=<apptag>, \-a <apptag>
.RS 4
lba app tag
.RE
.PP
\-\-expected\-app\-tags=<apptag,>, \-A <apptag,>
.RS 4
expected lba app tags (comma\-separated list)
.RE
.PP
\-\-app\-mask=<appmask>, \-m <appmask>
.RS 4
lba tag mask
.RE
.PP
\-\-expected\-app\-masks=<appmask,>, \-M <appmask,>
.RS 4
expected lba tag masks (comma\-separated list)
.RE
.PP
\-\-dir\-type=<type>, \-T <type>
.RS 4
Optional directive type\&. The nvme\-cli only enforces the value be in the defined range for the directive type, though the NVMe specification (1\&.3a) defines only one directive, 01h, for write stream identifiers\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-dir\-spec=<spec>, \-S <spec>
.RS 4
Optional field for directive specifics\&. When used with write streams, this value is defined to be the write stream identifier\&. The nvme\-cli will not validate the stream requested is within the controller\(cqs capabilities\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-format=<entry\-format>, \-F <entry\-format>
.RS 4
source range entry format
.RE
