DESCRIPTION

14       Retrieves the NVMe Sanitize log page from an NVMe device and provides
15       the status of sanitize command.
16
17       The <device> parameter is mandatory NVMe character device (ex:
18       /dev/nvme0).

OPTIONS

70       -o <format>, --output-format=<format>
71           Set the reporting format to normal, json, or binary. Only one
72           output format can be used at a time.
73
74       -H, --human-readable
75           This option will parse and format many of the bit fields into
76           human-readable formats.
77
78       -b, --raw-binary
79           Print the raw buffer to stdout. Structure is not parsed by program.
80           This overrides the vendor specific and human readable options.
