0x0001 | The most recent sanitize operation completed successfully.
0x0002 | A sanitize operation is currently in progress.
0x0003 | The most recent sanitize operation failed.
0x0100 | Global Data Erased bit If set to 1 then non-volatile storage in the NVM subsystem has not been written to: a) since being manufactured and the NVM subsystem has never been sanitized; or b) since the most recent successful sanitize operation. If cleared to 0, then non-volatile storage in the NVM subsystem has been written to: a) since being manufactured and the NVM subsystem has never been sanitized; or b) since the most recent successful sanitize operation of the NVM subsystem.

Sanitize Progress - percentage complete

On success it returns 0, error code otherwise.

## OPTIONS

-r
--rae

  Retain an Asynchronous Event.

-b
--raw-binary

  Print the raw buffer to stdout. Structure is not parsed by program. This overrides the vendor specific and human readable options.

## GLOBAL OPTIONS

The following options are defined at the top-level `nvme` command and are available to this subcommand:

--dry-run

  Print the command that would be executed, but do not actually execute it.

--no-ioctl-probing

  Disable probing for 64-bit IOCTL support.

--no-retries

  Disable retry logic on transient errors.

-o <fmt>
--output-format=<fmt>

  Set the reporting format to normal, tabular, 'json, or binary. Only one output format may be used at a time.

--output-format-version=<version>

  Select the output format version. Version 1 uses the original field naming, while version 2 (default) provides more consistent and script-friendly field names.

--timeout=<ms>

  Set the timeout for the command in milliseconds.

-v
--verbose

  Increase the level of detail in the output. May be specified multiple times to further increase verbosity.

These options can also be set as machine-wide defaults in nvme-cli.conf(5). A command-line flag always overrides the file.
