42.Op Fl a
43.Op Fl l Ar LBA
44.Op Fl o Ar rep_opts

46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47Manage
48.Tn SCSI
49and
50.Tn ATA
51Zoned Block devices.
52This allows managing devices that conform to the
53.Tn SCSI
54Zoned Block Commands (ZBC) and
55.Tn ATA
56Zoned ATA Command Set (ZAC)
57specifications.
58Devices using these command sets are usually hard drives using Shingled
59Magnetic Recording (SMR).
60There are three types of SMR drives:
61.Bl -tag -width 13n
62.It Drive Managed
63Drive Managed drives look and act just like a standard random access block
64device, but underneath, the drive reads and writes the bulk of its capacity
65using SMR zones.
66Sequential writes will yield better performance, but writing sequentially
67is not required.
68.It Host Aware
69Host Aware drives expose the underlying zone layout via
70.Tn SCSI
71or
72.Tn ATA
73commands and allow the host to manage the zone conditions.
74The host is not required to manage the zones on the drive, though.
75Sequential writes will yield better performance in Sequential Write
76Preferred zones, but the host can write randomly in those zones.
77.It Host Managed
78Host Managed drives expose the underlying zone layout via
79.Tn SCSI
80or
81.Tn ATA
82commands.
83The host is required to access the zones according to the rules described
84by the zone layout.
85Any commands that violate the rules will be returned with an error.
86.El
87.Pp
88SMR drives are divided into zones (typically in the range of 256MB each)
89that fall into three general categories:
90.Bl -tag -width 20n
91.It Conventional
92These are also known as Non Write Pointer zones.
93These zones can be randomly written without an unexpected performance penalty.
94.It Sequential Preferred
95These zones should be written sequentially starting at the write pointer
96for the zone.
97They may be written randomly.
98Writes that do not conform to the zone layout may be significantly slower
99than expected.
100.It Sequential Required
101These zones must be written sequentially.
102If they are not written sequentially, starting at the write pointer, the
103command will fail.
104.El
105.Bl -tag -width 12n
106.It Fl c Ar cmd
107Specify the zone subcommand:
108.Bl -tag -width 6n
109.It params
110Display device parameters, including the type of device (Drive Managed,
111Host Aware, Host Managed, Not Zoned), the zone commands supported, and
112how many open zones it supports.
113.It rz
114Issue the Report Zones command.
115All zones are returned by default.
116Specify report options with
117.Fl o
118and printing options with
119.Fl P .
120Specify the starting LBA with
121.Fl l .
122Note that
123.Dq reportzones
124is also accepted as a command argument.
125.It open
126Explicitly open the zone specified by the starting LBA.
127.It close
128Close the zone specified by starting LBA.
129.It finish
130Finish the zone specified by the starting LBA.
131.It rwp
132Reset the write pointer for the zone specified by the starting LBA.
133.El
134.It Fl a
135For the Open, Close, Finish, and Reset Write Pointer operations, apply the
136operation to all zones on the drive.
137.It Fl l Ar lba
138Specify the starting LBA.
139For the Report Zones command, this tells the drive to report starting with
140the zone that starts at the given LBA.
141For the other commands, this allows the user to identify the zone requested
142by its starting LBA.
143The LBA may be specified in decimal, hexadecimal or octal notation.
144.It Fl o Ar rep_opt
145For the Report Zones command, specify a subset of zones to report.
146.Bl -tag -width 8n
147.It all
148Report all zones.
149This is the default.
150.It emtpy
151Report only empty zones.
152.It imp_open
153Report zones that are implicitly open.
154This means that the host has sent a write to the zone without explicitly
155opening the zone.
156.It exp_open
157Report zones that are explicitly open.
158.It closed
159Report zones that have been closed by the host.
160.It full
161Report zones that are full.
162.It ro
163Report zones that are in the read only state.
164Note that
165.Dq readonly
166is also accepted as an argument.
167.It offline
168Report zones that are in the offline state.
169.It reset
170Report zones that the device recommends should have their write pointers reset.
171.It nonseq
172Report zones that have the Non Sequential Resources Active flag set.
173These are zones that are Sequential Write Preferred, but have been written
174non-sequentially.
175.It nonwp
176Report Non Write Pointer zones, also known as Conventional zones.
177.El
178.It Fl P Ar print_opt
179Specify a printing option for Report Zones:
180.Bl -tag -width 7n
181.It normal
182Normal Report Zones output.
183This is the default.
184The summary and column headings are printed, fields are separated by spaces
185and the fields themselves may contain spaces.
186.It summary
187Just print the summary:  the number of zones, the maximum LBA (LBA of the
188last logical block on the drive), and the value of the
189.Dq same
190field.
191The
192.Dq same
193field describes whether the zones on the drive are all identical, all
194different, or whether they are the same except for the last zone, etc.
195.It script
196Print the zones in a script friendly format.
197The summary and column headings are omitted, the fields are separated by
198commas, and the fields do not contain spaces.
199The fields contain underscores where spaces would normally be used.
