SG_REP_PIP(8)                      SG3_UTILS                     SG_REP_PIP(8)

NAME
       sg_rep_pip - send SCSI REPORT PROVISIONING INITIALIZATION PATTERN
       command

SYNOPSIS
       sg_rep_pip [--help] [--hex] [--maxlen=LEN] [--raw] [--readonly]
       [--verbose] [--version] DEVICE

DESCRIPTION
       Sends a SCSI REPORT PROVISIONING INITIALIZATION PATTERN command to
       DEVICE and outputs the data returned. This command is found in the
       SBC-4 draft standard, revision 21 (sbc4r21.pdf).

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

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

       -H, --hex
              output the response in hexadecimal to stdout. When used once the
              whole response is output in ASCII hexadecimal, prefixed by an
              address (starting at 0) on each line. When used twice the whole
              response is output in hexadecimal with no leading address (on
              each line). The default action is the same as giving the --hex
              option once.

       -m, --maxlen=LEN
              where LEN is the (maximum) response length in bytes. It is
              placed in the cdb's "allocation length" field. If not given (or
              LEN is zero) then 8192 is used. The maximum allowed value of LEN
              is 1048576.

       -r, --raw
              output the SCSI response (i.e. the data-out buffer) in binary
              (to stdout).

       -R, --readonly
              open the DEVICE read-only (e.g. in Unix with the O_RDONLY flag).
              The default is to open it read-write.

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

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

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