NAME
----
nvme-telemetry-log - Retrieves a Telemetry Host-Initiated log page from an NVMe device

SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'nvme telemetry-log' <device> [--output-file=<file> | -o <file>]
		      [--host-generate=<gen> | -g <gen>]

DESCRIPTION
-----------
Retrieves an Telemetry Host-Initiated 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 log structure will be in raw binary format _only_ with
--output-file option which is mandatory.

OPTIONS
-------
-o <file>::
--output-file=<file>::
	File name to which raw binary data will be saved to.

-g <gen>::
--host-generate=<gen>::
	If set to 1, controller shall capture the Telemetry Host-Initiated data
	representing the internal state of the controller at the time the
	associated Get Log Page command is processed.
	If cleated to 0, controller shall _not_ update this data.

-d <da>::
--data-area=<da>::
	Retrieves the specific data area requested. Valid inputs are 1,2,3,4. If
	this option is not specified, the default value is 3, since data area
	4 may not be supported.

EXAMPLES
