SCSI_SATL(8) SG3_UTILS SCSI_SATL(8)

NAME

scsi_satl - check SCSI to ATA Translation (SAT) device support

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

This bash shell script calls several SCSI commands on the given DEVICE that is assumed to be an ATA device behind a SCSI to ATA Translation (SAT) layer (SATL). The results of each test and a pass/fail count are output.

OPTIONS

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

print out the usage message then exit.
the output to stderr (from each SCSI command executed) is appended to a file called 'scsi_satl.err' in the current working directory.
the amount of output is reduced and typically only the pass/fail count is output.
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.
