11 [--wp] DEVICE
12
14 Sends a SCSI REPORT ZONES command to DEVICE and outputs the data
15 returned. This command is found in the ZBC draft standard, revision 5
16 (zbc-r05.pdf).
17
19 Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.
20 -h, --help
22 output the usage message then exit.
23 -H, --hex
25 output the response in hexadecimal to stdout. When used once the
26 whole response is output in ASCII hexadecimal with a leading
27 address (starting at 0) on each line. When used twice each zone
28 descriptor in the response is output separately in hexadecimal.
29 When used thrice the whole response is output in hexadecimal
30 with no leading address (on each line).
31 -m, --maxlen=LEN
33 where LEN is the (maximum) response length in bytes. It is
34 placed in the cdb's "allocation length" field. If not given (or
35 LEN is zero) then 8192 is used. The maximum allowed value of LEN
36 is 1048576.
37 -n, --num=NUM
39 where NUM is the (maximum) number of zone descriptors to print
40 out. The default value is zero which is taken to mean print out
41 all zone descriptors returned by the REPORT ZONES command.
42 -p, --partial
44 set the PARTIAL bit in the cdb.
45 -r, --raw
47 output the SCSI response (i.e. the data-out buffer) in binary
48 (to stdout).
49 -R, --readonly
51 open the DEVICE read-only (e.g. in Unix with the O_RDONLY flag).
52 The default is to open it read-write.
53 -o, --report=OPT
55 where OPT will become the contents of the REPORTING OPTION field
56 in the cdb. The default value is 0 which means report a list of
57 all zones. Some other values are 1 for list zones with a zone
58 condition of empty; 2 for list zones with a zone condition of
59 implicitly opened; 3 for list zones with a zone condition of
60 explicitly opened; 4 for list zones with a zone condition of
61 closed; 5 for list zones with a zone condition of full; 6 for
62 list zones with a zone condition of read only; 7 for list zones
63 with a zone condition of offline. Other values are 0x10 for list
64 zones with RWP recommended set to true; 0x11 for list zones with
65 non-sequential write resource active set to true and 0x3f for
66 list zones with a zone condition of not write pointer.
67 -s, --start=LBA
69 where LBA is at the start or within the first zone to be
70 reported. The default value is 0. If LBA is not a zone start LBA
71 then the preceding zone start LBA is used for reporting. Assumed
72 to be in decimal unless prefixed with '0x' or has a trailing 'h'
73 which indicate hexadecimal.
74 -v, --verbose
76 increase the level of verbosity, (i.e. debug output).
77 -V, --version
79 print the write pointer (in hex) only. In the absence of errors,
80 then a hex LBA will be printed on each line, one line for each
81 zone. Can be usefully combined with the --num=NUM and
82 --start=LBA options.
83 -w, --wp
85 print the version string and then exit.
86
88 The exit status of sg_rep_zones is 0 when it is successful. Otherwise
89 see the sg3_utils(8) man page.
