Description: Utilities for working with generic SCSI devices
This package includes a number of utilities to manipulate the linux "sg"
(version 3) device driver.
.
This driver is only found in 2.4.x linux kernels; if you are using
2.2 (or earlier), please install the sg-utils package instead.
.
The package includes:
* sg_dd - a variant of 'dd' that works with the sg interface
* sgm_dd - like sg_dd, but uses mmap()'d IO
* sgp_dd - like sg_dd, only multithreaded
* sg_scan - displays the SCSI bus on stdout
* sg_map - shows the mapping between SCSI devices and sg devices
* scsi_devfs_scan - scans devfs systems to identify SCSI devices
* sg_inq - a utility for poking around with the SCSI INQUIRY command
* sginfo - a re-porting of the 'scsiinfo' program to use sg devices
* sg_readcap - prints the output of a READ CAPACITY command
* sg_start - spins up (or down) disks
* sg_modes - prints out mode sense pages
* sg_logs - prints out log sense pages
* sg_senddiag - runs SCSI self tests
* sg_reset - exercises SCSI device/bus/host reset capability
* sg_rbuf - tests SCSI bus speed
* sg_test_rwbuf - tests the SCSI host adapter
* sg_read - reads multiple blocks, useful for timing
* sg_runt_ex - an example program to test the sg driver version
* sg_turs - execute a TEST UNIT READY command on the given device
* sg_debug - prints debug info for all open sg file descriptors
.
It also includes sg_simple1, sg_simple2 and sg_simple3 which
demonstrate calls to the SCSI INQUIRY and TEST UNIT READY commands.
The first two only differ in their error processing: sg_simple1 uses
sg_err.[hc] for error processing while sg_simple2 does its own more
primitive checks.
.
"sg_simple3" tests out user space scatter gather added to the
version 3 sg driver.
