Just because there's no manpage doesn't mean that it's impossible to use - or don't people read source code any more? libses makes use of sgen(7d), but libscsi doesn't mandate use of libses. Pluggable fwflash(1m) uses both libscsi and libses, and the code for almost of it is open. What's your underlying objection to using libscsi and/or libses?
