NAME
       scsi_mandat - check SCSI device support for mandatory commands


SYNOPSIS
       scsi_mandat [--help] [--log] [--quiet] [--verbose] DEVICE


DESCRIPTION
       This  bash  shell  script  calls  several  SCSI  commands  on  the  given DEVICE. These SCSI commands are
       considered mandatory (although that varies a little depending on which standard/draft the DEVICE complies
       with). The results of each test and a pass/fail count are output.


OPTIONS
       Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.

       -h, --help
              print out the usage message then exit.

       -L, --log
              the   output  to  stderr  (from  each  SCSI  command  executed)  is  appended  to  a  file  called
              'scsi_mandat.err' in the current working directory.

       -q, --quiet
              the amount of output is reduced and typically only the pass/fail count is output.

       -v, --verbose
              increase level or verbosity.


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.
