			“This is the initial proof-of-concept review for porting nvme-cli to Windows using mingw-w64. This compiles on both Linux and Windows, and demonstrates the proposed structure for cross-platform support and for Windows IOCTL support. Initial testing of identify and get log page have been successful.”
