DESCRIPTION

For the NVMe device given, calculates the device TLC and SLC write amplification factor.

The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0) or block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1).

This will only work on Sandisk devices supporting this feature. Results for any other device are undefined.

On success it returns 0, error code otherwise.
