  where:
    --brief|-b        reduce amount of output, can be used several times
    --filter=FLT|-f FLT    FLT is 0 (def) for all physical elements;
                           1 for out of spec and depopulated elements
    --help|-h         print out usage message
    --hex|-H          output in hexadecimal
    --inhex=FN|-i FN    input taken from file FN rather than DEVICE,
                        assumed to be ASCII hex or, if --raw, in binary
    --json[=JO]|-j[=JO]     output in JSON instead of plain text
                            use --json=? for JSON help
    --js-file=JFN|-J JFN    JFN is a filename to which JSON output is
                            written (def: stdout); truncates then writes
    --maxlen=LEN|-m LEN    max response length (allocation length in cdb)
                           (def: 0 -> 1056 bytes)
    --raw|-r          output in binary, unless --inhex=FN is given in
                      in which case the input is assumed to be binary
    --readonly|-R     open DEVICE read-only (def: read-write)
    --report-type=RT|-t RT    report type: 0-> physical elements (def);
                                           1-> storage elements
    --starting=ELEM|-s ELEM    ELEM is the lowest identifier returned
                               (def: 1 which is lowest identifier)
    --verbose|-v      increase verbosity
    --version|-V      print version string and exit

Performs a SCSI GET PHYSICAL ELEMENT STATUS command (see SBC-3 or SBC-4).
Storage elements are a sub-set of physical elements. Currently the only
type of physical element is a storage element. If --inhex=FN is given then
contents of FN is assumed to be a response to this command in ASCII hex.
Returned element descriptors should be in ascending identifier order.
