NAME
       nvme - the NVMe storage command line interface utility (nvme-cli)

SYNOPSIS
       built-in	plugin:

       nvme <command> <device> [<args>]

       extension plugins:

       nvme <plugin> <command> <device>	[<args>]

DESCRIPTION
       NVM-Express is a	fast, scalable host controller interface designed to
       address the needs for not only PCI Express based	solid state drives,
       but also	NVMe-oF(over fabrics).

       This nvme program is a user space utility to provide standards
       compliant tooling for NVM-Express drives. It was	made specifically for
       Linux as	it relies on the IOCTLs	defined	by the mainline	kernel driver.

NVME COMMANDS
       The utility has sub-commands for	all admin and io commands defined in
       the specification and for displaying controller registers. There	is
       also an option to submit	completely arbitrary commands. For a list of
       commands	available, run "nvme help".
