NAME

       sg_reset_wp - send SCSI RESET WRITE POINTER command

SYNOPSIS

       sg_reset_wp [--all] [--count=ZC] [--help] [--verbose] [--version] [--zone=ID] DEVICE

DESCRIPTION

       Sends  a SCSI RESET WRITE POINTER command to the DEVICE. This command is found in the soon
       to be released ZBC standard (draft prior to standard: zbc-r05.pdf).

OPTIONS

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

       -a, --all
              sets the ALL field in the cdb. This causes a reset write pointer operation  of  all
              open  zones  and full zones. When this option is given then the --zone=ID option is
              ignored. Either this option or the --zone=ID option is required.

       -C, --count=ZC
              ZC is placed in the Zone Count field in the cdb of the RESET WRITE POINTER  command
              supported by this utility. ZC should be a value from 0 to 65535 (0xffff) inclusive.

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

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

       -V, --version
              print the version string and then exit.

       -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). This causes a  reset  write  pointer  operation  on  the  zone
              identified  by the ZONE ID field. The default value is 0. Either this option or the
              --all option is required.  ID is assumed to be in decimal unless prefixed with '0x'
              or has a trailing 'h' which indicate hexadecimal.

EXIT STATUS

       The  exit status of sg_reset_wp is 0 when it is successful. Otherwise see the sg3_utils(8)
       man page.
