Description

For the NVMe device given, send a Vendor Unique WDC vs-smart-add-log command and provide the additional smart log​.

The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0) or block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1)​.

This will only work on WDC devices supporting this feature​. Results for any other device are undefined​.

On success it returns 0, error code otherwise​.
