NVME-INTEL-ID-CTR(1)		   NVMe Manual		    NVME-INTEL-ID-CTR(1)

NAME
     nvme-intel-id-ctrl  -  Send  NVMe	Identify  Controller,  return result and
     structure

SYNOPSIS
     nvme intel id-ctrl <device> [--vendor-specific | -v] [--raw-binary | -b]
			     [--output-format=<fmt> | -o <fmt>]

DESCRIPTION
     For the NVMe device given, sends an identify controller  command  and  pro-
     vides the result and 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 structure may be returned in one of several ways  depending
     on  the option flags; the structure may be parsed by the program or the raw
     buffer may be printed to stdout.

     If having the program decode the output for readability, this version  will
     decode Intel vendor unique portions of the structure.

OPTIONS
     -b, --raw-binary
	 Print	the  raw  buffer  to stdout. Structure is not parsed by program.
	 This overrides the vendor specific and human readable options.

     -v, --vendor-specific
	 In addition to parsing known fields, this option will dump  the  vendor
	 specific region of the structure in hex with ascii interpretation.

     -H, --human-readable
	 This  option  will  parse  and  format  many of the bit fields into hu-
	 man-readable formats.

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

EXAMPLES
     *	 Has  the  program  interpret  the returned buffer and display the known
	 fields in a human readable format:

	     # nvme intel id-ctrl /dev/nvme0
