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. It also has
ports to FreeBSD, Tru64, Solaris, and Windows (cygwin and mingw).

A new utility called sg_sanitize has been added and there has
been a major rework of the sg_ses utility. This version tracks
various changes made by www.t10.org since February 2011.
