NAME

       sg_reset_wp - send SCSI RESET WRITE POINTER command

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       Sends  a  SCSI RESET WRITE POINTER command to the DEVICE. This command is found in the ZBC
       draft standard revision 1c (zbc-r01c.pdf).

OPTIONS

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

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

       -R, --reset-all
              sets the RESET 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.

       -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
              --reset-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.
