This archive directory contains programs the use the Linux SCSI

subsystem and typically use the SCSI generic interface (sg) as

well.

The programs in this directory are fully functional but have been

"retired" from the main sg3_utils directory most likely because

their functionality is done in another (perhaps better) way.

The last time I checked these programs compiled and built and

didn't depend on too many other things (see the Makefile in the

parent directory for ideas).

Since I actively use some of these programs for testing, a Makefile has

been set up which builds:

- sgq_dd [a dd variant the uses a dispatch loop rather than

POSIX threads (as does sgp_dd)]

- sg_reset [does SCSI bus/device/host resets if mid level SCSI patch

in place]

- sg_poll [internal testing]

The sg_err.h and llseek.h headers have simply been copied from the parent

directory.
