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] [--help] [--verbose] [--version] [--zone=ID] DEVICE

DESCRIPTION
       Sends a SCSI RESET WRITE POINTER command to the DEVICE. This command is
       found in the ZBC draft standard revision 2 (zbc-r02.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.

       -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.
