sg3_utils is a package of command line utilities for sending SCSI and some ATA commands to devices. This package targets the linux kernel (lk) 2.6 and lk 2.4 series. In the lk 2.6 series these utilities (except sgp_dd) can be used with any devices that support the SG_IO ioctl. Ported to FreeBSD, Tru64, Solaris, and Windows (cygwin and mingw). This version adds the sg_raw utility which allows a user to supply a cdb. Copy of ChangeLog below.
