| The supported flags, their meanings, their associated operations, and their acceptable ranges are as
| follows:
| Flag Description
| -? Usage Help (stand-alone flag) {no value required}
| -b Block Size (rea, wri) {0
<
(block size x blocking factor)
<
2097152}
| -c Operation Count (eof, fsf, fsr, bsf, bsr) {0 - 65535}
| -d Destination Address (mov) {device specific, determine range from Element Info}
| -f Device Special File Name (always required) {/dev/rmt/1st or similar}
| -h Usage Help (stand-alone flag) {no value required}
| -m Multiples to Read or Write (rea, wri) {0 - 2097152}
| -n Blocking Factor (rea, wri) {0
>
(block size x blocking factor)
<
2097152}
| -o Operation (always required) {refer to previous list}
| -r Random Seed (wri) {0 - 65535}
| -s Source Address (mov, pos) {device specific, determine range from Element Info}
| -t Type of Parameter Value
| (gpo) {1=logical block, 2=physical block}
| (spo) {1=logical block, 2=physical block}
| (gpa) {1=block size, 2=compression, 3=buffering, 4=immediate, 5=trailer, 6=write protect, 7=acf
| mode, 8=capacity, 9=sili}
| (spa) {1=block size, 2=compression, 3=buffering, 4=immediate, 5=trailer, 6=write protect,
| 8=capacity, 9=sili}
| (msg) {1=display msg0, 2=display msg1, 3=flash msg0, 4=flash msg1, 5=alternate msg1/msg2}
| -v Verbose Mode (optional for all commands, stand-alone flag) {no value required, absence of flag
| means quiet mode}
| -w Open Mode (optional for all commands) {1=read/write, 2=read only (default), 3=write only, 4=append}
| -x Parameter Value
| (lck) {1=lock, 2=unlock}
| (lod) {1=load, 2=unload}
| (srs) {0 - 65536}
| (spo) {0 - 65535}
| (spa) {0 - 65535}
| -y Messages (msg) {message1,message2}
| -z Input/Output File Name
| (sdp) {path and name of the file in which to store dump}
| (dmc) {path and name of the microcode image file}
| (wri) {path and name of the file containing write data pattern}
| Notes:
| 1. For read and write operations, the size of one buffer of data transferred during a single SCSI read or
| write command is determined by the product of the Block Size value and the B Factor value. The
| number of these buffers transferred is determined by
Multiplier value. The actual total number of
| bytes transferred is then (Block Size) x (Blocking Factor) x (Multiplier). If the device is set to fixed
| block mode (block size not equal to zero), the product of Block Size and Blocking Factor must be a
| multiple of the device block size setting.
