NAME
       nvme-dir-send - Issue a directive send command, returns applicable
       results

SYNOPSIS
       nvme dir-send <device> [--namespace-id=<nsid> | -n <nsid>]
			       [--data-len=<data-len> |	-l <data-len>]
			       [--dir-type=<dtype> | -D	<dtype>]
			       [--dir-spec=<dspec> | -S	<dspec>]
			       [--dir-oper=<doper> | -O	<doper>]
			       [--endir=<endir>	| -e <endir>]
			       [--target-dir=<tdir> | -T <tdir>]
			       [--human-readable | -H] [--raw-binary | -b]
			       [--output-format=<fmt> |	-o <fmt>] [--verbose | -v]
			       [--timeout=<timeout> | -t <timeout>]

DESCRIPTION
       Submits an NVMe Directive Send admin command and	returns	the applicable
       results.	This may be the	combination of directive type, and operation,
       as well as target directive and its enable/disable status of the
       operation, if specific operation	needs it.

       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	directive's parameter structure	(if
       applicable) is returned in one of several ways depending	on the option
       flags; the structure may	parsed by the program and printed in a
       readable	format if it is	a known	structure, displayed in	hex, or	the
       raw buffer may be printed to stdout for another program to parse.

OPTIONS
       -n <nsid>, --namespace-id=<nsid>
	   Retrieve the	feature	for the	given nsid. This is optional and most
	   features do not use this value.

       -D <dtype>, --dir-type=<dtype>
	   Directive type

       -S <dspec>, --dir-spec=<dspec>
	   Directive specific

       -O <doper>, --dir-oper=<doper>
	   Directive operation

       -T <tdir>, --target-dir=<nsr>
	   Target directive of the operation

       -e <endir>, --endir=<endir>
	   Target directive enable(1) or disable (0) operation
	   +--------+------------------------+
	   | Select | Description	     |
	   +--------+------------------------+
	   | 0	    | Current		     |
	   +--------+------------------------+
	   | 1	    | Default		     |
	   +--------+------------------------+
	   | 2	    | Saved		     |
	   +--------+------------------------+
	   | 3	    | Supported	capabilities |
	   +--------+------------------------+
	   | 4-7    | Reserved		     |
	   +--------+------------------------+

       -l <data-len>, --data-len=<data-len>
	   The data length for the buffer returned for this feature. Most
	   known features do not use this value. The exception is LBA Range
	   Type

       -b, --raw-binary
	   Print the raw receive buffer	to stdout if the command returns a
	   structure.

       -H, --human-readable
	   Print the decoded receive buffer to stdout if the command returns a
	   structure.

       -o <fmt>, --output-format=<fmt>
	   Set the reporting format to normal, json or binary. Only one	output
	   format can be used at a time.

       -v, --verbose
	   Increase the	information detail in the output.

       -t <timeout>, --timeout=<timeout>
	   Override default timeout value. In milliseconds.

EXAMPLES
          Enable streams directive :

	       # nvme dir-send /dev/nvme0n1 --dir-type 0 --dir-oper 1 --target-dir 1 --endir 1

          Disable streams directive :

	       # nvme dir-send /dev/nvme0n1 --dir-type 0 --dir-oper 1 --target-dir 1 --endir 0

          Release all allocated streams resource :

	       # nvme dir-send /dev/nvme0n1 --dir-type 1 --dir-oper 2

          Release stream ID 3 :

	       # nvme dir-send /dev/nvme0 --dir-type 1 --dir-oper 1 --dir-spec 3

	   It is probably a bad	idea to	not redirect stdout when using this
	   mode.
