SCSI_MANDAT(8)                     SG3_UTILS                    SCSI_MANDAT(8)

NAME
       scsi_mandat - check SCSI device support for mandatory commands

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

DESCRIPTION
       This bash 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 directory.

       -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.
