For the NVMe device given, issues the I/O Management Send command with the requested management operation (mo) and management operation specific parameter (mos)​. This is the generic interface provided for forward compatibility as new operations are added that this program isn’t aware of at the time of its development​. As such, this is a generic command that does not provide any convenience parameters to produce the binary payload​.

-n <NUM>, --namespace-id=<NUM>

Use the provided namespace id for the command​. If not provided, the namespace id of the block device will be used​. If the command is issued to a non-block device, the parameter is required​.

-d <FILE>, --data=<FILE>

File to read payload from​. If unspecified, data will be read from the standard input stream​.

-l <NUM>, --data-len=<NUM>

Payload data buffer length

-m <NUM>, --mo <NUM>

Management Operation to perform​.

-s <NUM>, --mos=<NUM>

Management Operation Specific parameter​.

-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​.
