+ "Sdparm reads and modifies SCSI device parameters. These devices can be
+SCSI disks, in which case the role of @command{sdparm} is similar to its
+namesake: the @command{hdparm} utility originally designed for ATA disks.
+However, @command{sdparm} can be used to access parameters on any device that
+uses a SCSI command set. Such devices include CD/DVD drives (irrespective of
+transport), SCSI and ATAPI tape drives, and SCSI enclosures. This utility can
+also send commands associated with starting and stopping the media, loading
+and unloading removable media and some other housekeeping functions.")
