It is also a sample usage of the user-level SCSI commands. .Ar out_fmt can be .Ql - to read output data from stdin; .Ar in_fmt can be .Ql - to write input data to stdout. .Pp The options are as follows: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Fl f Ar device Specifies the .Ar device that should be opened, i.e., .Pa /dev/rsd0c . .It Fl d Ar debug_level Sets the SCSI kernel debug level. The kernel must have been compiled with the .Cm SCSIDEBUG option. See .Pa /sys/scsi/scsi_debug.h to figure out what to set the kernel debug level to. .Pp .It Fl z Ar seconds Freezes all activity on all SCSI busses for a given number of seconds. If .Fl v is also specified, a BEL character is sent to the standard output at the start and finish of the bus freeze. This requires that the kernel be built with the SCSI_FREEZE kernel option. This kernel code is not committed yet. .Pp .It Fl m Ar page Read a device mode page. The file .Pa /usr/share/misc/scsi_modes is read to discover how to interpret the mode data. The environment variable .Ev SCSI_MODES can specify a different file to use. .Pp .It Fl P Ar pc Specify a page control field. The page control fields are .Bd -literal -offset 0 Current Values 1 Changeable Values 2 Default Values 3 Saved Values .Ed .Pp .It Fl e Permits you to edit the fields. It will use the editor specified by your .Ev EDITOR environment variable. To store changes permanently, edit page control 3 using the .Fl P flag. .Pp .It Fl p Can be used against the "super scsi" device .Pa /dev/scsi/super to probe all devices with a given SCSI .Ar lun on a given SCSI bus. The .Ar bus can be selected with the .Fl b option and the default is 0. The .Ar lun can be selected with the .Fl l option and the default is 0. See .Xr scsi 4 for a description of the "super scsi" device. .Pp .It Fl r Can be used in .Fx 1.1 to reprobe a specific SCSI device at a given Bus, Target and Lun. This is not needed in .Fx 2.1 , since opening a fixed SCSI device has the side effect of reprobing it, and probing with the bus with the .Fl p option should bring on line any newly found devices. See .Xr scsi 4 for a description of fixed SCSI devices. .Pp .It Fl c Permits you to send user-level SCSI commands specified on the command line to a device. The command is sent using the .Dv SCIOCCOMMAND ioctl, so the device you are accessing must permit this ioctl. See .Xr scsi 4 for full details of which minor devices permit the ioctl, and .Xr scsi 3 for the full details on how to build up the commands and data phases using the format arguments. .Pp .It Fl v Turns on more verbose information. .Pp .It Fl s Ar seconds Sets the command timeout to .Ar seconds . The default is two seconds. .Pp .It Fl c Ar cmd_fmt Specifies the command as described in .Xr scsi 3 . The additional arguments provide values for any variables specified in the command format. .Pp .It Fl o Ar count out_fmt arg ... Indicates that this is a data out command (i.e., data will be sent from the system to the device) with .Ar count bytes of data. The data out is built up using the facilities described in .Xr scsi 3 using the provided arguments to fill in any integer variables. .Ar out_fmt can be specified as a hyphen .Pq Ql - to indicate that .Ar count bytes of data should be read from the standard input. .Pp .It Fl i Ar count in_fmt arg ... Indicates that this is a data in command (i.e., data will be read from the device into the system) with .Ar count bytes of data read in. The information is extracted according to .Ar in_fmt using the facilities described in .Xr scsi 3 and displayed on the standard output. .Ar in_fmt can be specified as a hyphen .Pq Ql - to indicate that .Ar count bytes of data input should be written to the standard output. .El .Sh EXAMPLES To verify that the device type for the disk .Pa /dev/rsd0c is 0 (direct access device): .Bd -literal -offset # scsi -f /dev/rsd0c -c "12 0 0 0 64 0" -i 64 "*b3 b5" 0 .Ed .Pp To do an inquiry to .Pa /dev/rsd2c : .Bd -literal -offset # scsi -f /dev/rsd2c -c "12 0 0 0 64 0" -i 64 "s8 z8 z16 z4" FUJITSU M2654S-512 010P .Ed .Pp To edit mode page 1 on .Pa /dev/rsd2c and store it permanently on the drive (set AWRE and ARRE to 1 to enable bad block remapping): .Bd -literal -offset # scsi -f /dev/rsd2c -m 1 -e -P 3 .Ed .Sh ENVIRONMENT The .Ev SU_DEBUG_OUTPUT variable can be set to a file to send debugging output to that file. .Pp The .Ev SU_DEBUG_LEVEL variable can be set to a non-zero integer to increase the level of debugging. Currently this is a on or off thing; it should perhaps use the ioctl to set the debug level in the kernel and then set it back to zero at program exit. .Pp The .Ev SU_DEBUG_TRUNCATE variable can be set to an integer to limit the amount of data phase output sent to the debugging file. .Pp The .Ev EDITOR variable determines the editor to use for the mode editor. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr scsi 3 , .Xr scsi 4 .Sh BUGS Some devices respond to an inquiry for all LUNS. This will cause them to come on line to 8 times during reprobe to different logical units. "scsi -f /dev/rsd0c -c "4 0 0 0 0 0" permits anyone who can write to .Pa /dev/rsd0c to format the disk drive. .Sh HISTORY The .Nm command appeared in 386BSD 0.1.2.4/FreeBSD to support the new reprobe and user SCSI commands.
