nvme-intel-smart-log-add(1)
===========================

NAME
----
nvme-intel-smart-log-add - Send NVMe Intel Additional SMART log page request,
returns result and log

SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'nvme intel smart-log-add' <device> [--namespace-id=<nsid> | -n <nsid>]
			[--raw-binary | -b] [--json | -j]

DESCRIPTION
-----------
Retrieves the NVMe Intel Additional SMART log page from the device and
provides the returned structure.

The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe character
device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1).

On success, the returned smart log structure may be returned in one of
several ways depending on the option flags; the structure may parsed by
the program and printed in a readable format or the raw buffer may be
printed to stdout for another program to parse.

OPTIONS
-------
-n <nsid>::
--namespace-id=<nsid>::
	Retrieve the Additional SMART log for the given nsid. This is
	optional and its success may depend on the device's capabilities
	to provide this log on a per-namespace basis (see the NVMe
	Identify Controller for this capability). The default nsid to
	use is 0xffffffff for the device global SMART log.

-b::
--raw-binary::
	Print the raw Intel Additional SMART log buffer to stdout.

-j::
--json::
	Dump output in json format.

EXAMPLES
--------
* Print the Intel Additional SMART log page in a human readable format:
+
------------
# nvme intel smart-log-add /dev/nvme0
------------
+

* Print the raw Intel Additional SMART log to a file:
+
------------
# nvme intel smart-log-add /dev/nvme0 --raw-binary > smart_log.raw
------------
+
It is probably a bad idea to not redirect stdout when using this mode.
