| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .B scsi_mandat |
| [\fI\-\-help\fR] [\fI\-\-log\fR] [\fI\-\-quiet\fR] [\fI\-\-verbose\fR] |
| \fIDEVICE\fR |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .\" Add any additional description here |
| .PP |
| This bash shell script calls several SCSI commands on the given |
| \fIDEVICE\fR. These SCSI commands are considered mandatory (although |
| that varies a little depending on which standard/draft the \fIDEVICE\fR |
| complies with). The results of each test and a pass/fail count are |
| output. |
| .SH OPTIONS |
| Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well. |
| .TP |
| \fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR |
| print out the usage message then exit. |
| .TP |
| \fB\-L\fR, \fB\-\-log\fR |
| the output to stderr (from each SCSI command executed) is appended to |
| a file called 'scsi_mandat.err' in the current working directory. |
| .TP |
| \fB\-q\fR, \fB\-\-quiet\fR |
| the amount of output is reduced and typically only the pass/fail |
| count is output. |
| .TP |
| \fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR |
| increase level or verbosity. |
| .SH 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. |
