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.
Options (14)
| Option | Description | Source |
|---|
--filter, -f FLT|-f | where FLT is placed in a two bit field called FILTER in the GET PHYSICAL ELEMENT STATUS command. | help + man |
--inhex, -i FN|-i | input taken from file FN rather than DEVICE, assumed to be ASCII hex or, if --raw, in binary | help + man |
--json JO]|-j[=JO | output in JSON instead of plain text use --json=? for JSON help | help |
--js-file, -J JFN|-J | JFN is a filename to which JSON output is written (def: stdout); | help + man |
--maxlen, -m LEN|-m | max response length (allocation length in cdb) (def: 0 -> 1056 bytes) | help + man |
--report-type, -t RT|-t | where RT will be placed in the REPORT TYPE field of the GET PHYSICAL ELEMENT STATUS command. | help + man |
--starting, -s ELEM|-s | where ELEM is placed in the STARTING ELEMENT field of the GET PHYSICAL ELEMENT STATUS command. | help + man |
-b, --brief | when used once, the output of each physical element status descriptor is abbreviated compared to when this option is not given. (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 response to this command in ASCII hex. (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 |
-R, --readonly | open the DEVICE read-only (e.g. in Unix with the O_RDONLY flag). (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 |
