This command is found in the SBC-4 draft standard, revision 21 (sbc4r21.pdf).\n\n### OPTIONS\n\nArguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.\n\n#### -h --help\n\noutput the usage message then exit.\n\n#### -H --hex\n\noutput the response in hexadecimal to stdout. When used once the whole response is\noutput in ASCII hexadecimal, prefixed by an address (starting at 0) on each line. When\nused twice the whole response is output in hexadecimal with no leading address (on\neach line). The default action is the same as giving the --hex option once.\n\n#### -m --maxlen\n\nwhere LEN is the (maximum) response length in bytes. It is placed in the cdb's \"allo‐\ncation length\" field. If not given (or LEN is zero) then 8192 is used. The maximum al‐\nlowed value of LEN is 1048576.\n\n#### -r --raw\n\noutput the SCSI response (i.e. the data-out buffer) in binary (to stdout).\n\n#### -R --readonly\n\nopen the DEVICE read-only (e.g. in Unix with the ORDONLY flag). The default is to\nopen it read-write.\n\n#### -v --verbose\n\nincrease the level of verbosity, (i.e. debug output).\n\n#### -V --version\n\nprint the version string and then exit.\n\n### EXIT STATUS\n\nThe exit status of sgreppip is 0 when it is successful. Otherwise see the sg3utils(8) man\npage.\n\n### AUTHORS\n\nWritten by Douglas Gilbert.\n\n### REPORTING BUGS\n\nReport bugs to .\n\n### COPYRIGHT\n\nCopyright © 2020 Douglas Gilbert\nThis software is distributed under a FreeBSD license.
