NAME

       scsi_mandat - check SCSI device support for mandatory commands

SYNOPSIS

       scsi_mandat [--help] [--log] [--quiet] [--verbose] DEVICE

DESCRIPTION

       This  Bourne  shell  script  calls  several  SCSI commands on the given DEVICE. These SCSI commands are considered mandatory (although that
       varies a little depending on which standard/draft the DEVICE complies with). The results of each test and a pass/fail count are output.

OPTIONS

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

       -h, --help
	      print out the usage message then exit.

       -L, --log
	      the output to stderr (from each SCSI command executed) is appended to a file called 'scsi_mandat.err' in the current working  direc-
	      tory.

       -q, --quiet
	      the amount of output is reduced and typically only the pass/fail count is output.

       -v, --verbose
	      increase level or verbosity.

EXIT STATUS

       The  exit  status  of  this script is the number of "bad" errors found.	So an exit status of 0 means all mandatory SCSI commands worked as
       expected.
