NAME
       nvme-resv-release - Release an nvme reservation

SYNOPSIS
       nvme resv-release <device> [--namespace-id=<nsid> | -n <nsid>]
                               [--crkey=<crkey> | -c <crkey>]
                               [--rtype=<rtype> | -t <rtype>]
                               [--rrela=<rrela> | -a <rrela>] [--iekey | -i]
                               [--output-format=<fmt> | -o <fmt>] [--verbose | -v]

DESCRIPTION
       The Reservation Release command is used to release or clear a
       reservation held on a namespace.

OPTIONS
       -n <nsid>, --namespace-id=<nsid>
           Override the nsid field. If using the admin character device, this
           parameter is required.

       -c <crkey>, --crkey=<crkey>
           Current Reservation Key: If the Reservation Register Action is 001b
           (i.e., Unregister Reservation Key) or 010b (i.e., Replace
           Reservation Key), then this field contains the current reservation
           key associated with the host. For all other Reservation Register
           Action values, this field is reserved. The controller ignores the
           value of this field when the Ignore Existing Key (IEKEY) bit is set
           to `1'.

       -t <rtype>, --rtype=<rtype>
           Reservation Type: This field specifies the type of reservation to
           be created.

       -i, --iekey
           Ignore Existing Key: If this bit is set to a 1, then the Current

           succeed regardless of the CRKEY field value.

           Indicator option, defaults to 0.

       -o <fmt>, --output-format=<fmt>
