DESCRIPTION
       Sends a SCSI OPEN ZONE, CLOSE ZONE or FINISH ZONE command to the DEVICE.  These commands are found in the
       ZBC draft standard revision 4c (zbc-r04c.pdf).

       One and only one of the --open, --close and --finish options can be chosen.


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

       -a, --all
              sets the ALL field in the cdb.

       -c, --close
              causes the CLOSE ZONE command to be sent to the DEVICE.

       -f, --finish
              causes the FINISH ZONE command to be sent to the DEVICE.

       -h, --help
              output the usage message then exit.

       -o, --open
              causes the OPEN ZONE command to be sent to the DEVICE.

       -v, --verbose
              increase the level of verbosity, (i.e. debug output).

       -z, --zone=ID
              where ID is placed in the cdb's ZONE ID field. A zone id is a zone  start  logical  block  address
              (LBA).  The  default value is 0. ID is assumed to be in decimal unless prefixed with '0x' or has a
              trailing 'h' which indicate hexadecimal.
