NAME
sg_referrals - send the SCSI REPORT REFERRALS command
SYNOPSIS
sg_referrals [--help] [--hex] [--lba=LBA] [--maxlen=LEN]
[--one-segment] [--raw] [--verbose] [--version] DEVICE
DESCRIPTION
Send the SCSI REPORT REFERRALS command to the DEVICE and
outputs the response. This command was introduced in (draft)
SBC-3 revision 24 and devices that support referrals should
support this command.
The default action is to decode the response for all user
data segment referral descriptors. The amount of output can
be reduced by the --lba and --one-segment options.
OPTIONS
Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as
well.
-h, --help
output the usage message then exit.
-H, --hex
output response to this command in ASCII hex.
-l, --lba=LBA
where LBA is the Logical Block Address (LBA) in the
first user data segment the DEVICE should report the
referrals parameter data for.
-m, --maxlen=LEN
where LEN is the (maximum) response length in bytes. It
is placed in the cdb's "allocation length" field. If
not given then 256 is used. 256 is enough space for the
response header and user data segment descriptors.
-s, --one-segment
report the user data segment of the segment spefified
by the LBA parameter only.
-r, --raw
output response in binary (to stdout).
-v, --verbose
increase the level of verbosity, (i.e. debug output).
Additional output caused by this option is sent to
stderr.
-V, --version
print the version string and then exit.
