1. A memory system, comprising:
one or more memory devices; and
processing circuitry coupled with the one or more memory devices and configured to cause the memory system to:
store, within the one or more memory devices, data associated with one or more first addresses within an address space;
receive, from a host for the one or more memory devices, a copy command for the data, wherein the copy command comprises a numeric value that is representative of a quantity of bytes, the quantity of bytes being a length of a list of copy parameters associated with the copy command, the list of copy parameters to be received by the memory system subsequent to receipt of the copy command;
receive, from the host, the list of copy parameters after receiving the copy command, wherein the list of copy parameters comprises the one or more first addresses and one or more second addresses, and wherein the length of the list of copy parameters is equal to the quantity of bytes represented by the numeric value included in the copy command; and
associate, in response to the copy command, the data with the one or more second addresses within the address space.
