The Security Send command is used to transfer security protocol data to the controller​. The data structure transferred to the controller as part of this command contains security protocol specific commands to be performed by the controller​. The data structure transferred may also contain data or parameters associated with the security protocol commands​. Status and data that is to be returned to the host for the security protocol commands submitted by a Security Send command are retrieved with the Security Receive command​.

The association between a Security Send command and subsequent Security Receive command is Security Protocol field dependent as defined in SPC-4​.

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

Target a specific namespace for this security command​.

-N <nssf>, --nssf=<nssf>

NVMe Security Specific field​. If using security protocol EAh assigned for NVMe use, the NVMe security specific field indicates which reply memory buffer target​.

-f <file>, --file=<file>

Path to file used as the security protocol’s payload​. Required argument​.

-p <security-protocol>, --secp=<security-protocol>

Security Protocol: This field specifies the security protocol as defined in SPC-4​. The controller shall fail the command with Invalid Parameter indicated if a reserved value of the Security Protocol is specified​.

-s <security-protocol-specific>, --spsp=<security-protocol-specific>

SP Specific: The value of this field is specific to the Security Protocol as defined in SPC-4​.

-t <trans-length>, --tl=<trans-length>

Transfer Length: The value of this field is specific to the Security Protocol as defined in SPC-4​.

-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​.

--timeout=<timeout>

Override default timeout value​. In milliseconds​.
