The incoming binary stream can either be + from a file or, in the absence of a file name, from stdin. Similar to + the Unix "od" command. By default, it decodes 16 bytes per line with + an ASCII interpretation to the right of each line. + - sg_chk_asc: utility decodes the SCSI additional sense code table + found at http://www.t10.org/lists/asc-num.txt and checks it + against the table found in sg_lib.c in the main directory. + It is designed to keep the table in sg_lib.c in "sync" with the + table at the t10.org web site. + + +These utilities can be built for Linux or FreeBSD. To build sg_chk_asc +in FreeBSD the sg_lib.o file must be present (i.e. compiled) in the +main directory. The hxascdmp utility can be built in a Windows +MinGW/MSYS environment. + +Doug Gilbert +21st January 2007 |
