9 sg_reset_wp [--all] [--count=ZC] [--help] [--verbose] [--version]
10 [--zone=ID] DEVICE
11
13 Sends a SCSI RESET WRITE POINTER command to the DEVICE. This command is
14 found in the soon to be released ZBC standard (draft prior to standard:
15 zbc-r05.pdf).
16
18 Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.
19
20 -a, --all
21 sets the ALL field in the cdb. This causes a reset write pointer
22 operation of all open zones and full zones. When this option is
23 given then the --zone=ID option is ignored. Either this option
24 or the --zone=ID option is required.
25
26 -C, --count=ZC
27 ZC is placed in the Zone Count field in the cdb of the RESET
28 WRITE POINTER command supported by this utility. ZC should be a
29 value from 0 to 65535 (0xffff) inclusive.
30
31 -h, --help
32 output the usage message then exit.
33
34 -v, --verbose
35 increase the level of verbosity, (i.e. debug output).
36
37 -V, --version
38 print the version string and then exit.
39
40 -z, --zone=ID
41 where ID is placed in the cdb's ZONE ID field. A zone id is a
42 zone start logical block address (LBA). This causes a reset
43 write pointer operation on the zone identified by the ZONE ID
44 field. The default value is 0. Either this option or the --all
45 option is required. ID is assumed to be in decimal unless pre‐
46 fixed with '0x' or has a trailing 'h' which indicate hexadeci‐
47 mal.
48
50 The exit status of sg_reset_wp is 0 when it is successful. Otherwise
51 see the sg3_utils(8) man page.
