Currently only block-to-block transfers are implemented; \fIIFILE\fR
and \fIOFILE\fR must refer to a SCSI block device.
+PP
+No account is taken of partitions so, for example, /dev/sbc2, /dev/sdc,
+/dev/sg2, and /dev/bsg/3:0:0:1 would all refer to the same thing: the
+whole logical unit (i.e. the whole disk) starting at LBA 0. So any
+partition indication (e.g. /dev/sdc2) is ignored. The user should set
+\fISKIP\fR, \fISEEK\fR and \fICOUNT\fR with information obtained
+from a command like 'fdisk -l -u /dev/sdc' to account for partitions.
