(description
"sg3-utils is a collection of utilities for devices that use the Small
-Computer System Interface (SCSI) command set. It includes utilities to read
-data from, write data to, control, modify, and query the state of SCSI
-devices. For example, this package provides command-line tools to copy data
-based on @code{dd} syntax and semantics (called @code{sg_dd}, @code{sgp_dd}
-and @code{sgm_dd}), check INQUIRY data and VPD pages (@code{sg_inq}), check
-mode and log pages (@code{sginfo}, @code{sg_modes} and @code{sg_logs}), spin
-up and down disks (@code{sg_start}), do self tests (@code{sg_senddiag}), parse
-sense data (@code{sg_decode_sense}), and perform various other functions. In
