SG_ZONE(8)                                  SG3_UTILS                                  SG_ZONE(8)

NAME
       sg_zone - send a SCSI ZONE modifying command

SYNOPSIS
       sg_zone [--all] [--close] [--count=ZC] [--element=EID] [--finish] [--help] [--open] [--re-
       move] [--sequentialize] [--verbose] [--version] [--zone=ID] DEVICE

DESCRIPTION
       Sends a SCSI OPEN ZONE, CLOSE ZONE, FINISH ZONE, REMOVE ELEMENT AND MODIFY  ZONES  or  SE-
       QUENTIALIZE ZONE command to the DEVICE. All but the last two are found in the ZBC standard
       (INCITS 536-2016). The REMOVE ELEMENT AND MODIFY ZONES command was added in zbc2r07  while
       the SEQUENTIALIZE ZONE command was added in zbc2r01b.

       One  and  only  one of the --open, --close, --finish, --remove and --sequentialize 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.

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

       -e, --element=EID
              where  EID  is an element identifier which is a 32 bit unsigned integer starting at
              one. This field is used by the REMOVE ELEMENT AND MODIFY ZONES command and its  de-
              fault value is zero (which is invalid). So the user needs to supply a valid element
              identifier when --remove is used.

       -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.

       -r, --remove
              causes the REMOVE ELEMENT AND MODIFY ZONES command to be sent  to  the  DEVICE.  In
              practice, --element=EID needs to be also given.

       -S, --sequentialize
              causes the SEQUENTIALIZE ZONE command to be sent to the DEVICE.

       -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). The default value is 0. 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_zone is 0 when it is successful. Otherwise see the sg3_utils(8) man
       page.
