NAME
----
nvme-id-iocs - Send NVMe Identify I/O Command Set, return result and structure

SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'nvme' [<global-options>] 'id iocs' <device>
			[--controller-id=<cntid> | -c <cntid>]

DESCRIPTION
-----------
For the NVMe device given, send an identify command and return the Identify I/O
Command Set data structure.

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

The bare 'nvme id-iocs' form (without a space) still works as a deprecated
alias and will be removed in a future major version. New scripts should
use 'nvme id iocs' instead.

OPTIONS
-------
-c <cntid>::
--controller-id=<cntid>::
	Retrieve the identify I/O Command set data structure for the given
	cntid. If this value is not given, cntid will be 0xffff.
