NAME
sg_rep_pip - send SCSI REPORT PROVISIONING INITIALIZATION PATTERN com-
mand
SYNOPSIS
sg_rep_pip [--help] [--hex] [--maxlen=LEN] [--raw] [--readonly] [--ver-
bose] [--version] DEVICE
DESCRIPTION
Sends a SCSI REPORT PROVISIONING INITIALIZATION PATTERN command to
DEVICE and outputs the data returned. This command is found in the
SBC-4 draft standard, revision 21 (sbc4r21.pdf).
OPTIONS
Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.
-h, --help
output the usage message then exit.
-H, --hex
output the response in hexadecimal to stdout. When used once the
whole response is output in ASCII hexadecimal, prefixed by an
address (starting at 0) on each line. When used twice the whole
response is output in hexadecimal with no leading address (on
each line). The default action is the same as giving the --hex
option once.
-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 (or
LEN is zero) then 8192 is used. The maximum allowed value of LEN
is 1048576.
-r, --raw
output the SCSI response (i.e. the data-out buffer) in binary
(to stdout).
-R, --readonly
open the DEVICE read-only (e.g. in Unix with the O_RDONLY flag).
The default is to open it read-write.
-v, --verbose
increase the level of verbosity, (i.e. debug output).
-V, --version
print the version string and then exit.
EXIT STATUS
The exit status of sg_rep_pip is 0 when it is successful. Otherwise see
the sg3_utils(8) man page.
