 nvmetcli
 ========
-
 This contains the NVMe target admin tool "nvmetcli".  It can either be
 used interactively by invoking it without arguments, or it can be used
 to save, restore or clear the current NVMe target configuration.
 
+Patch Submissions
+-----------------
+Please send to linux-nvme at lists.infradead.org for review and acceptance.
 
 Installation
 ------------
-
 Please install the configshell-fb package from
 https://github.com/agrover/configshell-fb first.
 
-Nvmetcli can be run directly from the source directory or installed

+Common Package Dependencies and Problems
+-----------------------------------------
+nvmetcli uses the 'python-six' and 'pyparsing' packages
+(running nvmetcli without these packages may produce
+hard-to-decipher errors).
 
-Usage

 Saving and restoring the configuration
 --------------------------------------
+The saveconfig command in the interactive
+nvmetcli mode saves the current configuration.  For example,
+
+./nvmetcli
+...> saveconfig test.json
+
+You can also invoke a 'save' command, as well as a 'restore'
+and 'clear' command on the Linux command line.  For example,
 
-The saveconfig and restoreconfig commands inside nvmetcli save and restore
-the current configuration, but you can also invoke these commands for the
-command line using the load and restore arguments to nvmetcli.  Without
-an additional file name these operate on /etc/nvmet/config.json.
+(to load an NVMe Target configuration):
+  ./nvmetcli restore test.json
 
+(to clear a current NVMe Target configuration):
+  ./nvmetcli clear test.json
+
+Without an additional file name these operate on /etc/nvmet/config.json.
+
+Example NVMe Target .json files
+--------------------------------------
 To load the loop + explicit host version above do the following:
 
-  ./nvmetcli load loop.json
+  ./nvmetcli restore loop.json
 
 Or to load the rdma + no host authentication version do the following
 after you've ensured that the IP address in rdma.json fits your setup:
 
-  ./nvmetcli load rdma.json
-
-You can also edit the json files directly.
+  ./nvmetcli restore rdma.json
 
+These files can also be edited directly using your favorite editor.
 
 Testing
 -------
-
 nvmetcli comes with a testsuite that tests itself and the kernel configfs
 interface for the NVMe target.  To run it make sure you have nose2 and
 the coverage plugin for it installed and simple run 'make test'.
