| - change lseek() in sg_dd and sgp_dd to _llseek() [using code borrowed |
| from fdisk] so big disks can be properly offset with 'skip' and |
| 'seek' arguments. [This change is significant for raw devices and |
| normal files since sg devices already use 31 bit block addressing.] |
| - rename sg_s3_inq to sg_inq. This utility allows the INQUIRY response |
| to be decoded as per SCSI 3 and 4. Also can probe VPD and CmdDt pages. |
| - change multiplier suffixes on sg_dd, sgp_dd and sg_turs so lower case |
| "k, m, g" are powers of 2 while "K, M, G" are powers of 10. This idea |
| borrowed from lmdd (lmbench suite) |
| - retire a few more less used utilities into the archive directory. |
| - add man pages for sg_dd, sgp_dd and sg_map |
