.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
Get and set host behavior support feature\&.
.sp
The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1)\&.
.sp
If any of the setting options (\-\-acre, \-\-etdas, \-\-lbafee, \-\-hdisns, or \-\-cdfe) are specified, the command will update the host behavior support feature fields accordingly\&. If none of these options are specified, it will retrieve and display the current configuration\&.
.sp
On success it returns 0, error code otherwise\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\-a <acre>, \-\-acre=<acre>
.RS 4
Advanced Command Retry Enable (0 or 1)\&.
.RE
.PP
\-e <etdas>, \-\-etdas=<etdas>
.RS 4
Extended Telemetry Data Area 4 Supported (0 or 1)\&.
.RE
.PP
\-l <lbafee>, \-\-lbafee=<lbafee>
.RS 4
LBA Format Extension Enable (0 or 1)\&.
.RE
.PP
\-H <hdisns>, \-\-hdisns=<hdisns>
.RS 4
Host Dispersed Namespace Support (0 or 1)\&.
.RE
.PP
\-c <cdfe>, \-\-cdfe=<cdfe>
.RS 4
Copy Descriptor Formats Enable bitmask\&.
.RE
.PP
\-S <select>, \-\-sel=<select>
.RS 4
Select (SEL): This field specifies which value of the attributes to return in the provided data:
.RE
.PP
\-s, \-\-save
.RS 4
Save the attribute so that it persists through all power states and resets\&.
.RE
.SH "GLOBAL OPTIONS"
.sp
The following options are defined at the top\-level nvme command and are available to this subcommand:
.PP
\-\-dry\-run
.RS 4
Print the command that would be executed, but do not actually execute it\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-no\-ioctl\-probing
.RS 4
Disable probing for 64\-bit IOCTL support\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-no\-retries
.RS 4
Disable retry logic on transient errors\&.
.RE
.PP
\-o <fmt>, \-\-output\-format=<fmt>
.RS 4
Set the reporting format to
\fInormal\fR,
\fItabular, \*(Aqjson\fR, or
\fIbinary\fR\&. Only one output format may be used at a time\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-output\-format\-version=<version>
.RS 4
Select the output format version\&. Version
\fI1\fR
uses the original field naming, while version
\fI2\fR
(default) provides more consistent and script\-friendly field names\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-timeout=<ms>
.RS 4
Set the timeout for the command in milliseconds\&.
.RE
.PP
\-v, \-\-verbose
.RS 4
Increase the level of detail in the output\&. May be specified multiple times to further increase verbosity\&.
.RE
.sp
These options can also be set as machine\-wide defaults in nvme\-cli\&.conf(5)\&. A command\-line flag always overrides the file\&.
