DESCRIPTION
-----------
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.

OPTIONS
-------
-d <sdlba>::
--sdlba=<sdlba>::
	64-bit addr of first destination logical block

-b <nlb-list,>::
--blocks=<nlb-list,>::
	Comma separated list of the number of blocks in each range

-s <slbas,>::
--slbs=<slbas,>::
	Comma separated list of the starting blocks in each range

--snsids=<snsids,>::
-N <snsids,>::
	Comma separated list of the source namespace identifiers in each range

--sopts=<sopts,>::
-O <sopts,>::
	Comma separated list of the source options in each range

-l::
--limited-retry::
	Sets the limited retry flag.

-f::
--force-unit-access::
	Set the force-unit access flag.

-p <prinfow>::
--prinfow=<prinfow>::
	Protection Information field write definition.

-P <prinfor>::
--prinfor=<prinfor>::
	Protection Information field read definition.

-r <reftag>::
--ref-tag=<reftag>::
	initial lba reference tag.

-R <reftag,>::
--expected-ref-tags=<reftag,>::
	expected lba reference tags (comma-separated list).

-a <apptag>::
--app-tag=<apptag>::
	lba app tag

-A <apptag,>::
--expected-app-tags=<apptag,>::
	expected lba app tags (comma-separated list)

-m <appmask>::
--app-mask=<appmask>::
	lba tag mask

-M <appmask,>::
--expected-app-masks=<appmask,>::
	expected lba tag masks (comma-separated list)

-T <type>::
--dir-type=<type>::
	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.

-S <spec>::
--dir-spec=<spec>::
	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's capabilities.

-F <entry-format>::
--format=<entry-format>::
	source range entry format

-o <fmt>::
--output-format=<fmt>::
	Set the reporting format to 'normal', 'json' or 'binary'. Only one
	output format can be used at a time.

-v::
--verbose::
	Increase the information detail in the output.

-t <timeout>::
--timeout=<timeout>::
	Override default timeout value. In milliseconds.
