DESCRIPTION

13       For the NVMe device given, sends an identify primary Controller caps
14       command and provides the result and returned structure.
15
16       The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe
17       character device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex:
18       /dev/nvme0n1).
19
20       On success, the structure may be returned in one of several ways
21       depending on the option flags; the structure may be parsed by the
22       program or the raw buffer may be printed to stdout.
23

OPTIONS

25       -o <format>, --output-format=<format>
26           Set the reporting format to normal, json, or binary. Only one
27           output format can be used at a time.
28
29       -H, --human-readable
30           This option will parse and format many of the bit fields into
31           human-readable formats.
