NAME
       nvme-sed-revert - Revert a SED Opal Device from locking

SYNOPSIS
       nvme [<global-options>] sed revert
                               [ --destructive, -e ]
                               [ --psid, -p ]
                               <device>

DESCRIPTION
       Revert the NVMe device given from its locking state.

OPTIONS
       -e, --destructive
           Revert drive destructively (data erased).

       -p, --psid
           Destructively revert drive using its PSID.

GLOBAL OPTIONS
       The following options are defined at the top-level nvme command and are
       available to this subcommand:

       --dry-run
           Print the command that would be executed, but do not actually
           execute it.

       --no-ioctl-probing
           Disable probing for 64-bit IOCTL support.

       --no-retries
           Disable retry logic on transient errors.

       -o <fmt>, --output-format=<fmt>
           Set the reporting format to normal, tabular, 'json, or binary. Only
           one output format may be used at a time.

       --output-format-version=<version>
           Select the output format version. Version 1 uses the original field
           naming, while version 2 (default) provides more consistent and
           script-friendly field names.

       --timeout=<ms>
           Set the timeout for the command in milliseconds.

       -v, --verbose
           Increase the level of detail in the output. May be specified
           multiple times to further increase verbosity.

       These options can also be set as machine-wide defaults in
       nvme-cli.conf(5). A command-line flag always overrides the file.
