NAME
sg_reset_wp - send SCSI RESET WRITE POINTER command
SYNOPSIS
sg_reset_wp [--all] [--help] [--verbose] [--version] [--zone=ID] DEVICE
DESCRIPTION
Sends a SCSI RESET WRITE POINTER command to the DEVICE. This command is
found in the ZBC draft standard revision 4c (zbc-r04c.pdf).
OPTIONS
Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.
-a, --all
sets the ALL field in the cdb. This causes a reset write pointer
operation of all open zones and full zones. When this option is
given then the --zone=ID option is ignored. Either this option
or the --zone=ID option is required.
-h, --help
output the usage message then exit.
-v, --verbose
increase the level of verbosity, (i.e. debug output).
-V, --version
print the version string and then exit.
-z, --zone=ID
where ID is placed in the cdb's ZONE ID field. A zone id is a
zone start logical block address (LBA). This causes a reset
write pointer operation on the zone identified by the ZONE ID
field. The default value is 0. Either this option or the --all
option is required. ID is assumed to be in decimal unless pre-
fixed with '0x' or has a trailing 'h' which indicate hexadeci-
mal.
EXIT STATUS
The exit status of sg_reset_wp is 0 when it is successful. Otherwise
see the sg3_utils(8) man page.
