85.Sh DESCRIPTION
86NVM Express (NVMe) is a storage protocol standard, for SSDs and other
87high-speed storage devices over PCI Express.
88.Ss power
89The power command controls the supported power states.
90.Fl l
91will list supported power states.
92.Fl p
93will set the power state to specified value.
94.Fl w
95will set workload value.
96With
97.Fl s ,
98the specified power state and workload value is saved,
99so it persists any autonomous transitions and resets.
100Support for saving the values is optional, and depends on the controller.
101.Ss logpage
102The logpage command knows how to print log pages of various types.
103It also knows about vendor specific log pages from hgst/wdc and intel.
104Page 0xc1 for hgst/wdc contains the advanced smart information about
105the drive.
106Page 0xc1 is read latency stats for intel.
107Page 0xc2 is write latency stats for intel.
108Page 0xc5 is temperature stats for intel.
109Page 0xca is advanced smart information for intel.
110.Pp
111Specifying
112.Fl p
113.Ic help
114will list all valid vendors and pages.
115.Fl x
116will print the page as hex.
117.Fl b
118will print the binary data for the page.
119.Ss wdc
120The various wdc commands retrieve log data from the wdc/hgst drives.
121The
122.Fl o
123flag specifies a path template to use to output the files.
124Each file takes the path template (which defaults to nothing), appends
125the drive's serial number and the type of dump it is followed
126by
127.Pa .bin .
128These logs must be sent to the vendor for analysis.
129This tool only provides a way to extract them.
130.Sh EXAMPLES

132.Pp
133Display a list of NVMe controllers and namespaces along with their device nodes.
134.Pp
135.Dl nvmectl identify nvme0
136.Pp
