.SH NAME
sg_verify \- invoke SCSI VERIFY command(s) on a block device
.SH SYNOPSIS
@@ -43,7 +43,9 @@ this option is ignored if \fI\-\-bytchk=NDO\fR is given. Otherwise \fIBPC\fR
specifies the maximum number of blocks that will be verified by a single SCSI
VERIFY command. The default value is 128 blocks which equates to 64 KB for a
disk with 512 byte blocks. If \fIBPC\fR is less than \fICOUNT\fR then
-multiple SCSI VERIFY commands are sent to the device. For recent block
+multiple SCSI VERIFY commands are sent to the device. For the default
+VERIFY(10) \fIBPC\fR cannot exceed 0xffff (65,535) while for VERIFY(16)
+\fIBPC\fR cannot exceed 0x7fffffff (2,147,483,647). For recent block
devices (disks) this value may be constrained by the maximum transfer length
field in the block limits VPD page.
