Usage: sg_inq [--ata] [--block=0|1] [--cmddt] [--descriptors] [--export] [--extended] [--help] [--hex] [--id] [--inhex=FN] [--len=LEN] [--maxlen=LEN] [--page=PG] [--raw] [--vendor] [--verbose] [--version] [--vpd] DEVICE where: --ata|-a treat DEVICE as (directly attached) ATA device --block=0|1 0-> open(non-blocking); 1-> open(blocking) -B 0|1 (def: depends on OS; Linux pt: 0) --cmddt|-c command support data mode (set opcode with '--page=PG') use twice for list of supported commands; obsolete --descriptors|-d fetch and decode version descriptors --export|-u SCSI_IDENT_<assoc>_<type>=<ident> output format. Defaults to device id page (0x83) if --page not given, only supported for VPD pages 0x80 and 0x83 --extended|-E|-x decode extended INQUIRY data VPD page (0x86) --help|-h print usage message then exit --hex|-H output response in hex --id|-i decode device identification VPD page (0x83) --inhex=FN|-I FN read ASCII hex from file FN instead of DEVICE; if used with --raw then read binary from FN --len=LEN|-l LEN requested response length (def: 0 -> fetch 36 bytes first, then fetch again as indicated) --maxlen=LEN|-m LEN same as '--len=' --page=PG|-p PG Vital Product Data (VPD) page number or abbreviation (opcode number if '--cmddt' given) --raw|-r output response in binary (to stdout) --vendor|-s show vendor specific fields in std inquiry --verbose|-v increase verbosity --version|-V print version string then exit --vpd|-e vital product data (set page with '--page=PG') Performs a SCSI INQUIRY command on DEVICE or decodes INQUIRY response held in file FN. If no options given then does a 'standard' INQUIRY. Can list VPD pages with '--vpd' or '--page=PG' option. sg_vpd and sdparm decode more VPD pages than this utility.
