Introduction
============
The Tru64 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_prevent
sg_rdac
sg_read_long
sg_readcap
sg_reassign
sg_requests
sg_rmsn
sg_rtpg
sg_senddiag
sg_ses
sg_start
sg_sync
sg_turs
sg_verify
sg_vpd
sg_wr_mode
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 Tru64. Files that are Tru64 specific use the "osf1"
suffix (apart from this one). Some man pages have examples which
use linux device names which hopefully will not confuse the Tru64 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_osf1.c [Tru64]
- sg_pt_freebsd.c
- sg_pt_win32.c
The sg_pt_osf1.c file uses the Tru64 CAM SCSI pass through
mechanism.
Tru64 does not have general library support for "long" options
(e.g. "--verbose") which are used extensively by most of the
utilities in this package. Rather than change all the utilities
and their man/web pages a local implementation of the missing
function "getopt_long()" has been placed in the "getopt_long"
subdirectory. Currently only the Tru64 port uses it.
