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 pre‐
	      fixed with '0x' or has a trailing 'h' which  indicate  hexadeci‐
	      mal.

EXIT STATUS
       The  exit  status  of sg_reset_wp is 0 when it is successful. Otherwise
       see the sg3_utils(8) man page.
