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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

--dir-type=<type>::
-T <type>::
	Optional directive type. The nvme-cli only enforces the value
	be in the defined range for the directive type, though the NVMe
	specifcation (1.3a) defines only one directive, 01h, for write
	stream idenfiers.

--dir-spec=<spec>::
-S <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.

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