NAME
       sg_rep_pip - send SCSI REPORT PROVISIONING INITIALIZATION PATTERN command


SYNOPSIS
       sg_rep_pip [--help] [--hex] [--maxlen=LEN] [--raw] [--readonly] [--verbose] [--version] DEVICE


DESCRIPTION
       Sends  a SCSI REPORT PROVISIONING INITIALIZATION PATTERN command to DEVICE and outputs the data returned.
       This command is found in the SBC-4 draft standard, revision 21 (sbc4r21.pdf).


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

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

       -H, --hex
              output the response in hexadecimal to stdout. When used once the whole response is output in ASCII
              hexadecimal, prefixed by an address (starting at 0) on  each  line.  When  used  twice  the  whole
              response  is  output  in hexadecimal with no leading address (on each line). The default action is
              the same as giving the --hex option once.

       -m, --maxlen=LEN
              where LEN is the (maximum) response length in bytes. It is placed in the cdb's "allocation length"
              field. If not given (or LEN is zero) then 8192 is used.  The  maximum  allowed  value  of  LEN  is
              1048576.

       -r, --raw
              output the SCSI response (i.e. the data-out buffer) in binary (to stdout).

       -R, --readonly
              open  the  DEVICE  read-only  (e.g.  in  Unix  with the O_RDONLY flag).  The default is to open it
              read-write.

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

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


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