Isn't this Linux only?
The OS independent way of sending SCSI commands to arbitrary targets (since
August 1986) is libscg. It is e.g. part of cdrtools.
BTW: There is also sformat(1), see:
ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/schily
that includes a lot of SCSI handling interfaces for disks. sformat was the
first command that allows to format disks while SunOS was still running (Sun
forced their customers to boot into a stand alone format utility at that time)
and sformat was the example for the format utility that has been later written
by Sun.
