+[\fI\-\-version\fR] \fIDEVICE\fR
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.\" Add any additional description here
+.PP
+Send the SCSI GET LBA STATUS command to the \fIDEVICE\fR and outputs the
+response. This command was introduced in (draft) SBC-3 revision 20 and
+devices that support thin provisioning should support this command.

+\fB\-H\fR, \fB\-\-hex\fR
+output response to this command in ASCII hex.
+.TP
+\fB\-l\fR, \fB\-\-lba\fR=\fILBA\fR
+where \fILBA\fR is the starting logical block address (lba) to check the
+status for.
+.TP
+\fB\-m\fR, \fB\-\-maxlen\fR=\fILEN\fR
+where \fILEN\fR is the (maximum) response length in bytes. It is placed in
+the cdb's "allocation length" field. If not given (or \fILEN\fR is zero)
+then 24 is used.
+.TP
+\fB\-q\fR, \fB\-\-quiet\fR
+output ASCII hex rendering of each report lun, one per line.
+.TP
