.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
For the NVMe device given, issues the Zone Management Send command with the requested send action\&. If the send requires additional data, you may specify the data length\&. If data is required, the input will default to stdin\&. Alternatively, the data may come from a file that can be specified\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\-n <NUM>, \-\-namespace\-id=<NUM>
.RS 4
Use the provided namespace id for the command\&. If not provided, the namespace id of the block device will be used\&. If the command is issued to a non\-block device, the parameter is required\&.

Send a zone management command with action set to 1 (close zone) to namespace 1\(cqs first zone:
.sp
.if n \{\

# nvme zns zone\-mgmt\-send /dev/nvme0 \-n 1 \-s 0 \-z 1

Write "hello world" into the zone descriptor for namespace 1\(cqs first zone (requires device supports a large enough zone extended data)
.sp
