SYNOPSIS

       sg_read_block_limits [--help] [--hex] [--raw] [--verbose] [--version] DEVICE

       found in the SSC documents at http://www.t10.org .

OPTIONS

       Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.

       -h, --help
	      output the usage message then exit.

       -H, --hex
	      output response in hex (rather than decode it).

       -r, --raw
	      output response in binary to stdout.

       -v, --verbose
	      increase the level of verbosity, (i.e. debug output).

       The exit status of sg_read_block_limits is 0 when it is successful. Otherwise see the sg3_utils(8) man page.

EXAMPLES

       It is usually okay to use no options. Here is an invocation (on the first line following the "#" command prompt) followed by  some  typical
       output:

	  # sg_read_block_limits /dev/st0
       Read Block Limits results:
	       Minimum block size: 1 byte(s)
	       Maximum block size: 16777215 byte(s), 16383 KB, 15 MB

NAME

       sg_rtpg - send SCSI REPORT TARGET PORT GROUPS command

SYNOPSIS

       sg_rtpg [--decode] [--help] [--hex] [--raw] [--verbose] [--version] DEVICE

DESCRIPTION

       Send a SCSI REPORT TARGET PORT GROUPS command to DEVICE and outputs the response.

       Target  port  group  access  is described in SPC-3 found at www.t10.org in section 5.8 (in rev 21c dated 2005/1/15). The Report Target Port
       Groups command is also described in that document.

OPTIONS

       Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.

       -d, --decode
	      decodes the status code and asymmetric access state from each target port group descriptor returned. The default action  is  not	to
	      decode these values.

       -e, --extended
	      use extended header format for parameter data.

       -h, --help
	      output the usage message then exit.

       -H, --hex
	      output response in hex (rather than partially or fully decode it).

       -r, --raw
	      output response in binary to stdout.

       -v, --verbose
	      increase the level of verbosity, (i.e. debug output).

       -V, --version
	      print the version string and then exit.

NOTES

       The  Report  Target  Port  Groups  command should be supported whenever the TPGS bits in a standard INQUIRY response are greater than zero.
       [View with sg_inq utility.]

EXIT STATUS

       The exit status of sg_rtpg is 0 when it is successful. Otherwise see the sg3_utils(8) man page.
