.\" Add any additional description here
.PP
Sends a SCSI OPEN ZONE, CLOSE ZONE, FINISH ZONE or SEQUENTIALIZE ZONE
command to the \fIDEVICE\fR. All but the last are found in the soon to
be released ZBC standard (close to draft ZBC BSR INCITS 536 revision 05).
The SEQUENTIALIZE ZONE command was added in zbc2r01b.
.PP
One and only one of the \fI\-\-open\fR, \fI\-\-close\fR, \fI\-\-finish\fR
and \fI\-\-sequentialize\fR options can be chosen.

causes the CLOSE ZONE command to be sent to the \fIDEVICE\fR.
.TP
\fB\-C\fR, \fB\-\-count\fR=\fIZC\fR
ZC is placed in the Zone Count field in the cdb of all four commands
supported by this utility. ZC should be a value from 0 to 65535 (0xffff)
inclusive.
.TP
\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-finish\fR
causes the FINISH ZONE command to be sent to the \fIDEVICE\fR.
