SCSI_MANDAT "8" "May 2013" "sg3_utils-1.36" SG3_UTILS
NAME
scsi_mandat - check SCSI device support for mandatory commands
SYNOPSIS
scsi_mandat [--help] [--log] [--quiet] [--verbose] DEVICE
DESCRIPTION
Add any additional description here

This bash shell script calls several SCSI commands on the given DEVICE. These SCSI commands are considered mandatory (although that varies a little depending on which standard/draft the DEVICE complies with). The results of each test and a pass/fail count are output.

OPTIONS
Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.

-h, --help print out the usage message then exit.

-L, --log the output to stderr (from each SCSI command executed) is appended to a file called 'scsi_mandat.err' in the current working directory.

-q, --quiet the amount of output is reduced and typically only the pass/fail count is output.

-v, --verbose increase level or verbosity.

EXIT STATUS
The exit status of this script is the number of "bad" errors found. So an exit status of 0 means all mandatory SCSI commands worked as expected.
