+NAME
+----
+nvme-wdc-vs-internal-log - Retrieve WDC device's internal firmware log and save to file.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'nvme wdc vs-internal-log' <device> [--output-file=<FILE>, -o <FILE>] [--transfer-size=<SIZE>, -s <SIZE>]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+For the NVMe device given, sends the WDC Vendor Specific Internal Log request and saves
+the result to a file.
+
+The <device> parameter is mandatory NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0).
+
+This will only work on WDC devices supporting this feature.
+Results for any other device are undefined.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-o <FILE>::
+--output-file=<FILE>::

+
+-s <SIZE>::
+--transfer-size=<SIZE>::
+ Transfer size; defaults to 0x10000 (65536 decimal) bytes
