+This utility is designed to query the status of the SCSI Extended
+Copy (XCOPY) facility (see SPC\-3 revision 23 sections 6.3 and 6.17), present
+in some modern storage arrays. This utility sends a SCSI RECEIVE COPY
RESULTS command to the given \fIDEVICE\fR and displays the response.
.PP
+During the draft stages of SPC\-4 the T10 committee has expanded the XCOPY
+command so that it now has two variants: "LID1" (for a List Identifier
+length of 1 byte) and "LID4" (for a List Identifier length of 4 bytes).
+This utility supports the older, LID1 variant which is also found in SPC\-3
+and earlier. While the LID1 variant in SPC\-4 is command level (binary)
+compatible with XCOPY as defined in SPC\-3, some of the command naming has
+changed. This utility uses the older, SPC\-3 XCOPY names.
+.PP
The command has four distinct modes of operation, distinguished by
the service action field:
