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.
