Message-ID: <4648B10F.6070707@torque.net> (raw)

SCSI and some ATA commands to devices. This package targets

devices that support the SG_IO ioctl. Ported to FreeBSD,
Tru64, Solaris, and Windows (cygwin and mingw).
This version adds the sg_raw utility which allows a user to
supply a cdb. Copy of ChangeLog below.
