.SH SYNOPSIS

.SH DESCRIPTION
.\" Add any additional description here
.PP
This bash shell script calls several SCSI commands on the given
\fIDEVICE\fR. These SCSI commands are considered mandatory (although
that varies a little depending on which standard/draft the \fIDEVICE\fR
complies with). The results of each test and a pass/fail count are
output.
.SH OPTIONS
Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.
.TP
\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
print out the usage message then exit.
.TP
\fB\-L\fR, \fB\-\-log\fR
the output to stderr (from each SCSI command executed) is appended to
a file called 'scsi_mandat.err' in the current working directory.
.TP
\fB\-q\fR, \fB\-\-quiet\fR
the amount of output is reduced and typically only the pass/fail
count is output.
.TP
\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR
increase level or verbosity.
.SH EXIT STATUS
The exit status of this script is the number of "bad" errors found.
So an exit status of 0 means all mandatory SCSI commands worked as
expected.
