Could anyone give an update on the bsd port of sg3_utils?

I found this old email, but could not find the sg3_utils mentioned in the e=
mail.

Thanks!
Xiang

Further to some posts that I sent to this list in
late December, the sg3_utils version 1.19 package
of command line utilities and sdparm version 0.97
utility have been released and include ports to
FreeBSD.

The sg3_utils port to FreeBSD contains 20 utilities,
each with a man page. Each utility is closely related
to a SCSI command (e.g. sg_inq decodes a SCSI INQUIRY
response including VPD pages). Linux specific utilities
and some other utilities that require more work have
been dropped from this FreeBSD port. A tarball of
sg3_utils version 1.19 can be found at:
http://www.torque.net/sg  [in the Utilities section]
This web page has an overview of sg3_utils:
http://www.torque.net/sg/u_index.html

sdparm is a command line utility for getting and setting
SCSI parameters. These parameters are mainly held in SCSI
mode pages. Read only information is maintained in device
Vital Product Data (VPD) pages and these can also be accessed
with sdparm. There are also some simple commands supported.
sdparm is described here:
http://www.torque.net/sg/sdparm.html
and the sdparm-0.97.tgz can be fetched from the
Downloads section.
