SG_RESET_WP(8)                                SG3_UTILS                               SG_RESET_WP(8)



NAME
       sg_reset_wp - send SCSI RESET WRITE POINTER command

SYNOPSIS
       sg_reset_wp [--all] [--count=ZC] [--help] [--verbose] [--version] [--zone=ID] DEVICE

DESCRIPTION
       Sends  a SCSI RESET WRITE POINTER command to the DEVICE. This command is found in the soon to
       be released ZBC standard (draft prior to standard: zbc-r05.pdf).

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

       -a, --all
              sets the 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.

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

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

       -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 --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.
