Usage: sg_rbuf [--buffer=EACH] [--dio] [--echo] [--help] [--mmap]
[--quick] [--size=OVERALL] [--time] [--verbose] [--version]
SG_DEVICE
where:
--buffer=EACH|-b EACH buffer size to use (in bytes)
--dio|-d requests dio ('-q' overrides it)
--echo|-e use echo buffer (def: use data mode)
--help|-h print usage message then exit
--mmap|-m requests mmap-ed IO (overrides -q, -d)
--quick|-q quick, don't xfer to user space
--size=OVERALL|-s OVERALL total size to read (in bytes)
default: 200 MiB
--time|-t time the data transfer
--verbose|-v increase verbosity (more debug)
--old|-O use old interface (use as first option)
--version|-V print version string then exit
Use SCSI READ BUFFER command (data or echo buffer mode, buffer id 0)
repeatedly. This utility only works with Linux sg devices.
Options (11)
| Option | Description | Source |
|---|
--buffer, -b EACH|-b | where EACH is the number of bytes to be transferred by each READ BUFFER command. | help + man |
--size, -s OVERALL|-s | where OVERALL is the size of total transfer in bytes. | help + man |
-d, --dio | use direct IO if available. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-h, --help | print usage message then exit. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-m, --mmap | use memory mapped IO if available. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-O, --old | Switch to older style options. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-q, --quick | only transfer the data into kernel buffers (typically by DMA from the SCSI adapter card) and do not move it into the user space. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-t, --time | times the bulk data transfer component of this command. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-v, --verbose | increase level of verbosity. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-V, --version | print out version string then exit. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-N, --new | Switch to the newer style options. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
