SG_READ_BLOCK_LIMITS(8) SG3_UTILS SG_READ_BLOCK_LIMITS(8) NAME sg_read_block_limits - send SCSI READ BLOCK LIMITS command SYNOPSIS sg_read_block_limits [--help] [--hex] [--mloi] [--raw] [--readonly] [--verbose] [--version] DEVICE DESCRIPTION Send a SCSI READ BLOCK LIMITS command to DEVICE and outputs the re- sponse. This command is defined for tape (drives) and its description is found in the SSC documents at https://www.t10.org . OPTIONS Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well. -h, --help output the usage message then exit. -H, --hex output response in hex (rather than decode it). -m, --mloi sets the MLOI bit in the READ BLOCK LIMITS command and if that succeeds, prints out the Maximum Logical Object Identifier (MLOI) value. The MLOI bit was introduced in the ssc4r02.pdf draft. -r, --raw output response in binary to stdout. -R, --readonly open DEVICE in read-only mode. The default is to open it in read-write mode. -v, --verbose increase the level of verbosity, (i.e. debug output). -V, --version print the version string and then exit. EXIT STATUS The exit status of sg_read_block_limits is 0 when it is successful. Otherwise see the sg3_utils(8) man page. EXAMPLES It is usually okay to use no options. Here is an invocation (on the first line following the "#" command prompt) followed by some typical output: # sg_read_block_limits /dev/st0 Read Block Limits results: Minimum block size: 1 byte(s) Maximum block size: 16777215 byte(s), 16383 KB, 15 MB Granularity: 0 AUTHORS Written by Douglas Gilbert.
