+NAME

+nvme-persistent-event-log - Send NVMe persistent event log page request,
+returns result and log
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'nvme persistent-event-log' <device> [--action=<action> | -a <action>]
+            [--log-len=<log-len> | -l <log-len>]
+            [--raw-binary | -b]
+            [--output-format=<fmt> | -o <fmt>]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Retrieves the NVMe persistent event log page from an NVMe device
+and provides the returned structure.
+
+The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe character
+device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1).
+
+On success, the returned persistent event log structure may be returned
+in one of several ways depending on the option flags; the structure may
+parsed by the program and printed in a readable format or the raw buffer
+may be printed to stdout for another program to parse.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-a <action>::
+--action=<action>::
+    While try to retrieve this log action the controller shall take
+    during processing this persistent log page command. This mandatory
+    field, based on the value issued it may Read Log Data, Establish
+    Context and Read Log Data or Release Context can occur. For More
+    details see NVM Express 1.4 Spec. Section 5.14.1.13 Persistent
+    Event Log (Log Identifier 0Dh)
+
+-l <log-len>::
+--log-len=<log-len>::
+    Allocates a buffer of <log-len> bytes size and requests this
+    many bytes be returned in the constructed NVMe command. This
+    param is mandatory. If <log-len> given is 0 and action is 0,
+    it will read the Total Log Length(TLL) of the page.
+
+-b::
+--raw-binary::
+    Print the raw persistent event log buffer to stdout.
+
+-o <format>::
+--output-format=<format>::
+    Set the reporting format to 'normal', 'json', or 'binary'.
+    Only one output format can be used at a time.
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+* Print the persistent event log page in a human readable format:
++
+------------
+# nvme persistent-event-log /dev/nvme0
+------------
++
+
+* Print the raw persistent event log to a file:
++
+------------
+# nvme persistent-event-log /dev/nvme0 --raw-binary > persistent_log.raw
+------------
++
+It is probably a bad idea to not redirect stdout when using this mode.
