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.
