.SH "NAME"
nvme-sndk-vs-device-waf \- Calculates the device write amplification factor and prints both TLC and SLC results
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
.nf
\fInvme sndk vs\-device\-waf\fR <device> [\-\-output\-format=<normal|json> \-o <normal|json>]

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
For the NVMe device given, calculates the device TLC and SLC write amplification factor\&.
.sp
The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0) or block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1)\&.
.sp
This will only work on Sandisk devices supporting this feature\&. Results for any other device are undefined\&.
.sp
On success it returns 0, error code otherwise\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\-o <fmt>, \-\-output\-format=<fmt>
.RS 4
Set the reporting format to
\fInormal\fR, or
\fIjson\fR\&. Only one output format can be used at a time\&. Default is normal\&.
.RE
.PP
\-n <nsid>, \-\-namespace\-id=<nsid>
.RS 4
Sets the command\(cqs nsid value to the given nsid\&. Defaults to 0xffffffff if not given\&. This option may not affect anything depending on the log page, which may or may not be specific to a namespace\&.
