.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
For the NVMe device given, sends a Data Set Management command and provides the result and returned structure\&.
.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)\&. If the character device is given, the \*(Aq\-\-namespace\-id\*(Aq option is mandatory, otherwise it will use the ns\-id of the namespace for the block device you opened\&. For block devices, the ns\-id used can be overridden with the same option\&.
.sp
You must specify at least one of the values for range list\&. If the range lists provided do not list the same number of elements, the default values for the remaining in the range will be set to 0\&.
.sp
The command dword 11 may be provided at the command line\&. For convenience, the current defined attributes (discard, integral read/write) for a data\-set management have flags\&. If cdw11 is specified, this will override any settings from the flags may have provided\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\-n <nsid>, \-\-namespace\-id=<nsid>
.RS 4
Sends the command with the requested nsid\&. This is required for the character devices, or overrides the block nsid if given\&.

.RS 4
Comma separated list of the context attributes in each range
.RE

.RE
.PP
\-o <fmt>, \-\-output\-format=<fmt>
.RS 4
Set the reporting format to

\fIjson\fR
or
\fIbinary\fR\&. Only one output format can be used at a time\&.
.RE
