.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The SCSI spec says that INQUIRY vendor, product, and revision strings must consist entirely of graphic ASCII characters, padded on the right with spaces\&. Since not all devices obey this rule, we will replace non\-graphic or non\-ASCII characters with spaces\&. Exception: a NUL character is interpreted as a string terminator, so all the following characters are set to spaces\&.
