sg_raw

Send arbitrary SCSI command to a connected device. More information: https://manned.org/sg_raw.

• Send a command to an optical SCSI device assigned to sr0 to load the media in its tray:

sg_raw /dev/sr0 EA 00 00 00 00 01

• Read data from IFILE instead of stdin:

sg_raw {{[-i|--infile]}} {{path/to/IFILE}} {{/dev/sgX}} {{SCSI_command}}

• Skip the first LEN bytes of input data:

sg_raw {{[-k|--skip]}} {{LEN}} {{/dev/sgX}} {{SCSI_command}}

• Read SLEN bytes of data and send to the device:

sg_raw {{[-s|--send]}} {{SLEN}} {{/dev/sgX}} {{SCSI_command}}

• Wait up to SEC seconds for sg_raw to finish processing:

sg_raw {{[-t|--timeout]}} {{SEC}} {{/dev/sgX}} {{SCSI_command}}

• Increase verbosity level by 1:

sg_raw {{[-v|--verbose]}} {{/dev/sgX}} {{SCSI_command}}

• Dump returned data in binary form:

sg_raw {{[-b|--binary]}} {{/dev/sgX}} {{SCSI_command}}

• Write data received from the specified device to an OFILE:

sg_raw {{[-o|--outfile]}} {{path/to/OFILE}} {{/dev/sgX}} {{SCSI_command}}
