Send the SCSI REPORT REFERRALS command to the DEVICE and outputs the
response. This command was introduced in (draft) SBC-3 revision 24 and
devices that support referrals should support this command.
The default action is to decode the response for all user data segment
referral descriptors. The amount of output can be reduced by the
--lba and --one-segment options.
OPTIONS
Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.
-h, --help
output the usage message then exit.
-H, --hex
output response to this command in ASCII hex.
-l, --lba=LBA
where LBA is the Logical Block Address (LBA) in the first user
data segment the DEVICE should report the referrals parameter
data for.
-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 then 256 is used. 256 is
enough space for the response header and user data segment descriptors.
-s, --one-segment
report the user data segment of the segment spefified by the LBA
parameter only.
-r, --raw
output response in binary (to stdout).
-v, --verbose
increase the level of verbosity, (i.e. debug output). Additional output
caused by this option is sent to stderr.
-V, --version
print the version string and then exit.
NOTES
For a discussion of referrals see section 4.25 of sbc3r25.pdf
at http://www.t10.org (or the corresponding section of a later draft).
