sg3_utils is a package of command line utilities for sending
SCSI and some ATA commands to devices. This package targets
the Linux 4, 3, 2.6 and 2.4 kernel series. It has ports to
FreeBSD, Tru64, Solaris, and Windows (cygwin and MinGW).

There are two new utilities (sg_read_attr and sg_timestamp)
and additions to many others, see the ChangeLog below. This
version tracks various changes made by www.t10.org since May
2015 until January 2016.
