sdparm is a command line utility designed to get and set SCSI device parameters (cf hdparm for ATA disks). Apart from SCSI devices (e.g. disks, tapes and enclosures) sdparm can be used on any device that uses a SCSI command set. Virtually all CD/DVD drives use the SCSI MMC set irrespective of the transport. sdparm also can decode VPD pages including the device identification page. Commands to start and stop the media; load and unload removable media and some other housekeeping functions are supported. sdparm can be used in both the lk 2.4 and 2.6 series. This release adds 'capacity', 'sense' and 'sync' commands. Change '-ll' to add explanation of some complex mode page field values.
