As well as devices on SCSI transports (e.g. Fibre channel and the SCSI parallel interface) many other devices use SCSI command sets. Examples are ATAPI cd/dvd drives and SATA disks (typically via a translation layer or bridge device). SCSI command sets are divided into what are called "primary" commands (e.g. SPC-3) and device class specific sets (e.g. SBC-2 for disks and MMC-4 for cd/dvd devices). SCSI command sets and transports definitions can be found at www.t10.org. The sg3_utils package targets the linux kernel 2.4 and 2.6 series and is still under active development. An earlier package called sg_utils targeted the linux kernel 2.2 series with some support for the 2.0 series. See an earlier version of this web page for further information about sg_utils. This document describes version 1.14 of sg3_utils . EOF .
