33 The <application>sg3_utils</application> package contains low level
34 utilities for devices that use a SCSI command set. Apart from SCSI parallel
35 interface (SPI) devices, the SCSI command set is used by ATAPI devices
36 (CD/DVDs and tapes), USB mass storage devices, Fibre Channel disks, IEEE
37 1394 storage devices (that use the "SBP" protocol), SAS, iSCSI and FCoE
38 devices (amongst others).
