DESCRIPTION

12       Sends a SCSI RESET WRITE POINTER command to the DEVICE. This command is
13       found in the ZBC draft standard revision 4c (zbc-r04c.pdf).
14

OPTIONS

16       Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.
17
18       -a, --all
19              sets the ALL field in the cdb. This causes a reset write pointer
20              operation  of all open zones and full zones. When this option is
21              given then the --zone=ID option is ignored. Either  this  option
22              or the --zone=ID option is required.
23
24       -h, --help
25              output the usage message then exit.
26
27       -v, --verbose
28              increase the level of verbosity, (i.e. debug output).
29
30       -V, --version
31              print the version string and then exit.
32
33       -z, --zone=ID
34              where  ID  is  placed in the cdb's ZONE ID field. A zone id is a
35              zone start logical block address  (LBA).  This  causes  a  reset
36              write  pointer  operation  on the zone identified by the ZONE ID
37              field. The default value is 0. Either this option or  the  --all
38              option  is required.  ID is assumed to be in decimal unless pre‐
39              fixed with '0x' or has a trailing 'h' which  indicate  hexadeci‐
40              mal.
