Introduction
============
The Solaris port of sg3_utils contains those utilities that are _not_
specific to Linux. In some cases a utility could be ported but
requires more work. An example is sg_dd which needs more work
beyond the SCSI command pass through mechanism.
Supported Utilities
===================
Here is a list of utilities that have been ported:
sg_format
sg_get_config
sg_ident
sg_inq [dropped ATA IDENTIFY DEVICE capability]
sg_logs
sg_luns
sg_modes
sg_persist
sg_opcodes
sg_prevent
sg_raw
sg_rdac
sg_read_buffer
sg_read_long
sg_readcap
sg_reassign
sg_requests
sg_rmsn
sg_rtpg
sg_sat_identify
sg_senddiag
sg_ses
sg_start
sg_stpg
sg_sync
sg_turs
sg_verify
sg_vpd
sg_wr_mode
sg_write_buffer
sg_write_long
Most utility names are indicative of the main SCSI command
that they execute. Some utilities are slightly higher level, for
example sg_ses fetches SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) status pages and
can send control pages. Each utility has a man page (placed in
section 8). An overview of sg3_utils can be found at:
http://www.torque.net/sg/sg3_utils.html .
A copy of the "sg3_utils.html" file is in the "doc" subdirectory.
See the INSTALL file (at the end) for instructions on how to build
sg3_utils on FreeBSD. Some man pages have examples which use linux
device names which hopefully will not confuse the FreeBSD users.
Details
=======
The ported utilities listed above, all use SCSI command functions
declared in sg_cmds_basic.h and sg_cmds_extra.h . Those SCSI command
functions are implemented in the corresponding ".c" files. The ".c"
files pass SCSI commands to the host operating system via
an interface declared in sg_pt.h . There are currently four
implementations of that interface depending on the host operating
system:
- sg_pt_linux.c
- sg_pt_freebsd.c
- sg_pt_osf1.c [Tru64]
- sg_pt_solaris.c
- sg_pt_win32.c
The sg_pt_solaris.c file uses the "uscsi" SCSI pass through
mechanism.
See the Solaris section in the INSTALL file for install directions.
