NAME
sg_reset_wp - send SCSI RESET WRITE POINTER command
SYNOPSIS
sg_reset_wp
[--help] [--reset-all] [--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 whose most recent revision is 1a.
OPTIONS
Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.
- -h, --help
-
output the usage message then exit.
- -R, --reset-all
-
sets the RESET 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.
- -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 --reset-all option is required.
ID is assumed to be in decimal unless prefixed with '0x' or has a
trailing 'h' which indicate hexadecimal.
EXIT STATUS
