 * 32 bytes long) then the second LBA range descriptor, etc. The pointer
 * t10_scat_list_out may be NULL in which case the T10 list array is not
 * built but all other operations take place; this can be useful for sizing
 * how large the area holding that list needs to be. The max_list_blen may
 * also be 0. If do_16 is true then only LBA,NUM pairs are expected,
 * loosely formatted with numbers found alternating between LBA and NUM, with
 * an even number of elements required overall. If do_16 is false then a
 * stricter format for quintets is expected: each non comment line should
 * contain: LBA,NUM[,RT,AT,TM] . If RT,AT,TM are not given then they assume
 * their defaults (i.e. 0xffffffff, 0xffff, 0xffff). Each number (64 bits for
 * the LBA, 32 bits for NUM and RT, 16 bit for AT and TM) may be a comma,
 * space or tab separated list. Assumed decimal unless prefixed by '0x', '0X'
 * or contains trailing 'h' or 'H' (which indicate hex). Returns 0 if ok,
 * else error number. If ok also yields the number of LBA range descriptors
 * written in num_scat_elems and the sum of NUM elements found. Note that
 * sum_num is not initialized to 0. If parse_one is true then exits
