Usage: sg_z_act_query [--activate] [--all] [--force] [--help] [--hex]
[--inhex=FN] [--maxlen=LEN] [--num=ZS] [--other=ZDID]
[--query] [--raw] [--verbose] [--version]
[--zone=ID] DEVICE
where:
--activate|-A do ZONE ACTIVATE command (def: ZONE QUERY)
--all|-a sets the ALL flag in the cdb
--force|-f bypass some sanity checks
--help|-h print out usage message
--hex|-H print out response in hexadecimal
--inhex=FN|-i FN decode contents of FN, ignore DEVICE
--maxlen=LEN|-m LEN LEN place in cdb's allocation length field
(def: 8192 (bytes))
--num=ZS|-n ZS ZS is the number of zones and is placed in the cdb;
default value is 1, ignored if --all given
--other=ZDID|-o ZDID ZDID is placed in Other zone domain ID field
--query|-q do ZONE QUERY command (def: ZONE QUERY)
--raw|-r output response in binary, or if --inhex=FN is
given, then FN's contents are binary
--verbose|-v increase verbosity
--version|-V print version string and exit
--zone=ID|-z ID ID is the starting LBA of the zone (def: 0)
Performs either a SCSI ZONE ACTIVATE command, or a ZONE QUERY command.
Arguments to options are decimal by default, for hex use a leading '0x'
or a trailing 'h'. The default action is to send a ZONE QUERY command.
Options (14)
| Option | Description | Source |
|---|
--inhex, -i FN|-i | where FN is a file name whose contents are assumed to be ASCII hexadecimal. | help + man |
--maxlen, -m LEN|-m | LEN place in cdb's allocation length field (def: 8192 (bytes)) | help + man |
--num, -n ZS|-n | where ZS is placed in the "Number of zones" field in the cdb. | help + man |
--other, -o ZDID|-o | where the ZDID value will be placed in the "Other zone domain ID" field of the cdb to be sent to the DEVICE. | help + man |
--zone, -z ID|-z | where ID is placed in the cdb's ZONE ID field. | help + man |
-A, --activate | sends a ZONE ACTIVATE command to the DEVICE. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-a, --all | sets the ALL field in the cdb. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-f, --force | when decoding the response to this command, certain sanity checks are done and if they fail a message is sent to stderr and a non-zero exit status is set. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-h, --help | output the usage message then exit. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-H, --hex | output the response in hexadecimal to stdout. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-q, --query | causes the ZONE QUERY command to be sent to the DEVICE. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-r, --raw | output response in binary (to stdout) unless the --inhex=FN option is also given. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-v, --verbose | increase the level of verbosity, (i.e. debug output). (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-V, --version | print the version string and then exit. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
