WRITE SKIP MASK Command (EAh)
The WRITE SKIP MASK command allows the initiator to condition the function of
the WRITE commands to allow only selected data to be transferred over the SCSI
interface. A WRITE SKIP MASK command preceeds a WRITE (10) command; the
WRITE (10) command must be linked to the WRITE SKIP MASK command or the
skip mask is lost and a CHECK CONDITION status is returned.

Field
Description
Logical Block Address
This field specifies the first logical block of the corresponding WRITE (10)
COMMAND. This allows a SEEK to begin immediately. The LBA of the
following WRITE (10) command must the same as the LBA of the WRITE
SKIP MASK command.
Skip Mask Length
This field indicates the length in bytes of the skip mask. The mask is up to
2048 bits, giving a data address capability of 1 MB in 512-byte block
length. The mask consists of a sequence of bits where a “1” bit is for the
blocks of data to be transferred, and a “0” for the blocks of data that are
to be skipped. The first “1” bit of the mask corresponds to the first LBA to
be transferred. Any unused bits at the end of the last byte in the mask
must be set to 0. The mask is transferred in the data-out buffer transfer of
the skip mask command.
Transfer Length
This field must be equal to the transfer length in the linked WRITE (10)
command. The transfer length field must be equal to the number of “1”
bits in the skip mask. If a WRITE (10) is used with 0 as the transfer length, a
transfer length of 256 data blocks is implied.
