NAME
       sg_reset_wp - send SCSI RESET WRITE POINTER command

SYNOPSIS
       sg_reset_wp   [--all]  [--count=ZC]  [--help]  [--verbose]  [--version]
       [--zone=ID] DEVICE

DESCRIPTION
       Sends a SCSI RESET WRITE POINTER command to the DEVICE. This command is
       found in the soon to be released ZBC standard (draft prior to standard:
       zbc-r05.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.

       -C, --count=ZC
              ZC  is  placed  in  the Zone Count field in the cdb of the RESET
              WRITE POINTER command supported by this utility. ZC should be  a
              value from 0 to 65535 (0xffff) inclusive.

       -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.
