                           [--controllers=<ctrl-list,> | -c <ctrl-list,>]
                           [--output-format=<fmt> | -o <fmt>] [--verbose | -v]

DESCRIPTION

   For the NVMe device given, sends the nvme namespace attach command for the provided namespace identifier, attaching to the provided list of controller identifiers.

   -c <ctrl-list,>, -controllers=<ctrl-list,>
       The comma separated list of controller identifiers to attach the namespace too. If no list is provided, the namespace will be attached to the <device> controller used for this
       command.

   -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.

EXAMPLES
