## NAME
       scsi_satl - check SCSI to ATA Translation (SAT) device support

## SYNOPSIS
       **scsi_satl **[_--help_] [_--log_] [_--quiet_] [_--verbose_] _DEVICE_

## DESCRIPTION
       This  bash shell script calls several SCSI commands on the given _DEVICE_ that is assumed to be
       an ATA device behind a SCSI to ATA Translation (SAT) layer (SATL). The results of  each  test
       and a pass/fail count are output.

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

### -h --help
              print out the usage message then exit.

### -L --log
              the  output  to  stderr (from each SCSI command executed) is appended to a file called
              'scsi_satl.err' in the current working directory.

### -q --quiet
              the amount of output is reduced and typically only the pass/fail count is output.

### -v --verbose
              increase level or verbosity.

## EXIT STATUS
       The exit status of this script is the number of "bad" errors found.  So an exit status  of  0
       means all mandatory SCSI commands worked as expected.
