                        Command coverage
                        ================
The following table lists SCSI commands in alphabetical order on the
left and the sg3_utils (or related) utilities that implement invocations
of them on the right. The second table lists supported ATA commands. The
third table list supported NVMe commands.

                       only for WCE in Caching page

The following SCSI commands do nothing (currently) in the SNTL but
do return GOOD status: TEST UNIT READY, START STOP UNIT, REPORT LUNS
and REQUEST SENSE. READ CAPACITY(10 and 16) yield appropriate data
by examining the response to the NVMe Identify command.


(2) this command was known as REPORT DEVICE IDENTIFIER prior to spc4r07
(3) this command was known as SET DEVICE IDENTIFIER prior to spc4r07
<J> decoded results may be output in JSON instead of plain test form
    which is the default

Note that any SCSI command, including bi-directional and variable length
commands (whose cdb size is > 16 bytes) can be issued by the sg_raw utility.

The RECEIVE COPY * commands in SPC-4 were grouped as one command name
with 4 service actions in SPC-3 and earlier. The single SPC-3 command
name is RECEIVE COPY RESULTS. The two opcodes associated with all
EXTENDED COPY commands are now known as THIRD PARTY COPY IN (0x84) and
THIRD PARTY COPY IN (0x83).
