.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
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\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\-d <sdlba>, \-\-sdlba=<sdlba>
.RS 4
64\-bit addr of first destination logical block
.RE
.PP
\-b <nlb\-list,>, \-\-blocks=<nlb\-list,>
.RS 4
Comma separated list of the number of blocks in each range
.RE
.PP
\-s <slbas,>, \-\-slbs=<slbas,>
.RS 4
Comma separated list of the starting blocks in each range
.RE
.PP
\-\-snsids=<snsids,>, \-N <snsids,>
.RS 4
Comma separated list of the source namespace identifiers in each range
.RE
.PP
\-\-sopts=<sopts,>, \-O <sopts,>
.RS 4
Comma separated list of the source options in each range
.RE
.PP
\-l, \-\-limited\-retry
.RS 4
Sets the limited retry flag\&.
.RE
.PP
\-f, \-\-force\-unit\-access
.RS 4
Set the force\-unit access flag\&.
.RE
.PP
\-p <prinfow>, \-\-prinfow=<prinfow>
.RS 4
Protection Information field write definition\&.
.RE
.PP
\-P <prinfor>, \-\-prinfor=<prinfor>
.RS 4
Protection Information field read definition\&.
.RE
.PP
\-r <reftag>, \-\-ref\-tag=<reftag>
.RS 4
initial lba reference tag\&.
.RE
.PP
\-R <reftag,>, \-\-expected\-ref\-tags=<reftag,>
.RS 4
expected lba reference tags (comma\-separated list)\&.
.RE
.PP
\-a <apptag>, \-\-app\-tag=<apptag>
.RS 4
lba app tag
.RE
.PP
\-A <apptag,>, \-\-expected\-app\-tags=<apptag,>
.RS 4
expected lba app tags (comma\-separated list)
.RE
.PP
\-m <appmask>, \-\-app\-mask=<appmask>
.RS 4
lba tag mask
.RE

.RE
.PP
\-T <type>, \-\-dir\-type=<type>
.RS 4
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\&.
.RE
.PP
\-S <spec>, \-\-dir\-spec=<spec>
.RS 4
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\(cqs capabilities\&.
