DESCRIPTION

The Copy command is used by the host to copy data from one or more source logical block ranges to a single consecutive destination logical block range.

OPTIONS

−d <sdlba>, −−sdlba=<sdlba>

64−bit addr of first destination logical block

−b <nlb−list,>, −−blocks=<nlb−list,>

Comma separated list of the number of blocks in each range

−s <slbas,>, −−slbs=<slbas,>

Comma separated list of the starting blocks in each range

−−snsids=<snsids,>, −N <snsids,>

Comma separated list of the source namespace identifiers in each range

−−sopts=<sopts,>, −O <sopts,>

Comma separated list of the source options in each range

−l, −−limited−retry

Sets the limited retry flag.

−f, −−force−unit−access

Set the force−unit access flag.

−p <prinfow>, −−prinfow=<prinfow>

Protection Information field write definition.

−P <prinfor>, −−prinfor=<prinfor>

Protection Information field read definition.

−r <reftag>, −−ref−tag=<reftag>

initial lba reference tag.

−R <reftag,>, −−expected−ref−tags=<reftag,>

expected lba reference tags (comma−separated list).

−a <apptag>, −−app−tag=<apptag>

lba app tag

−A <apptag,>, −−expected−app−tags=<apptag,>

expected lba app tags (comma−separated list)

−m <appmask>, −−app−mask=<appmask>

lba tag mask

−M <appmask,>, −−expected−app−masks=<appmask,>

expected lba tag masks (comma−separated list)

−T <type>, −−dir−type=<type>

Optional directive type. The nvme−cli only enforces the value be in the defined range for the directive type, though the NVMe specification (1.3a) defines only one directive, 01h, for write stream identifiers.

−S <spec>, −−dir−spec=<spec>

Optional field for directive specifics. When used with write streams, this value is defined to be the write stream identifier. The nvme−cli will not validate the stream requested is within the controller’s capabilities.

−F <entry−format>, −−format=<entry−format>

source range entry format

−o <fmt>, −−output−format=<fmt>

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

−v, −−verbose

Increase the information detail in the output.

−t <timeout>, −−timeout=<timeout>

Override default timeout value. In milliseconds.
