.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
Instantiate a target on top of a LightNVM enabled device\&. This exposes the physical for the user to use\&.
.sp
The target name is the name of which the media is exposed as in /dev/<targetname>
.sp
The target type is the target to be instantiated\&. Typically pblk or rrpc\&.
.sp
LUN begin and end defines the range of LUNs to use for a target instantiation\&.
