.SH "NAME"
nvme-set-feature \- Sets an NVMe feature, returns applicable results
.SH "SYNOPSIS"

\fInvme set\-feature\fR <device> [\-\-namespace\-id=<nsid> | \-n <nsid>]
                          [\-\-feature\-id=<fid> | \-f <fid>] [\-\-value=<value> | \-v <value>]

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
Submits an NVMe Set Feature admin command and returns the applicable results\&. This may be the feature\(cqs value, or may also include a feature structure if the feature requires it (ex: LBA Range Type)\&.
.sp
The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1)\&.
.sp
On success, the value sent to the device is displayed
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\-n <nsid>, \-\-namespace\-id=<nsid>
.RS 4
Sets the feature for the given nsid\&. This is optional and most features do not use this value\&.
.RE
.PP
\-f <fid>, \-\-feature\-id=<fid>
.RS 4
The feature id to send with the command\&. Value provided should be in hex\&.
.RE
.PP
\-l <data\-len>, \-\-data\-len=<data\-len>
.RS 4
The data length for the buffer submitted for this feature\&. Most known features do not use this value\&. The exceptions are LBA Range Type and host identifier\&.
.RE
.PP
\-d <data\-file>, \-\-data=<data\-file>
.RS 4
The data file for the buffer submitted for this feature\&. Most known features do not use this value\&. The exceptions is LBA Range Type and host identifier\&. This defaults to STDIN so files and echo can be piped\&.
.RE
.PP
\-v <value>, \-\-value=<value>
.RS 4
The value for command dword 11, the value you want to set the feature to\&.
.RE
.PP
\-s, \-\-save
.RS 4
Save the attribute so that it persists through all power states and resets\&.
.RE
.PP
\-U <uuid\-index>, \-\-uuid\-index=<uuid\-index>
.RS 4
UUID Index of the feature
