DESCRIPTION

       Sends a SCSI OPEN ZONE, CLOSE ZONE or FINISH ZONE command to the
       DEVICE.  These commands are found in the ZBC draft standard revision 2
       (zbc-r02.pdf).

       One and only one of the --open, --close and --finish options can be
       chosen.

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

       -a, --all
              sets the ALL field in the cdb.

       -c, --close
              causes the CLOSE ZONE command to be sent to the DEVICE.

       -f, --finish
              causes the FINISH ZONE command to be sent to the DEVICE.

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

       -o, --open
              causes the OPEN ZONE command to be sent to the DEVICE.

       -v, --verbose

              a trailing 'h' which indicate hexadecimal.
