NAME

       ascdcode - print error message for ASC/ASCQ error codes

SYNOPSIS

       ascdcode [ -o vendor id [ -p product id ] ] ASC ASCQ

DESCRIPTION

       The  ascdcode  program interprets Additional Sense Code (ASC) and Addi-
       tional Sense Code Qualifier (ASCQ)  data  and  returns  an  appropriate
       error  message.  The ascdcode program returns interpreted ASC/ASCQ data
       either for the named vendor  and  product  IDs  (with  the  -o  and  -p
       options),  or  for  all  libraries  or devices as defined in the SCSI-3
       Specifications (http://www.ncits.org) or individual vendors.  For unim-
       plemented  ASC/ASCQ codes, the ascdcode program will return the message
       Not implemented.

OPTIONS

       -o vendor id
              Checks to see if the vendor is an OEM and looks up the  ASC/ASCQ
              error  codes  defined original vendor for the library or device.
              If the -p option is not specified, ascdcode will  return  vendor
              specific  information  for  the    vendor id specified with this
              option.  The  vendor id should be identical to the vendor string
              reported  when you run the inquire program.  For a complete list
              of    vendor    ID    assignments,    see    the    web    page:
              http://www.t10.org/lists/vid-alph.htm.    This  option  is  only
              applicable to vendor specific ASC/ASCQ codes of value(s) greater
              than 0x7f.

       -p product id
              Use  with  -o  to  provide a library or device type with the OEM
              vendor.  The  product id should be identical to the  library  or
              device string reported when you run the inquire program.

            The ASC argument should be the first of the pair of ASC/ASCQ error
            codes reported by the library or  device.   You  may  specify  the
            value  as  a  hexadecimal number by preceding the value with  0x .
            The default value is assumed to be a decimal value.

            The ASCQ argument should be the latter of  the  pair  of  ASC/ASCQ
            error  codes  reported  by the library or device.  You may specify
            the value as a hexadecimal number by preceding the value with  0x.

            The default value is assumed to be a decimal value.

FILES

       /INSTALL_PATH/lgtovendors
                 The  directory where the vendor specific files are installed.

       /INSTALL_PATH/lgtovendors/OEM_MAP
                 The file that maps OEM vendors and their corresponding  prod-
                 ucts  to original vendors.  See the file for a description on

LIMITATIONS

        The ascdcode program always uses the installed vendor specific files to
       look  up	 vendor	 specific  error  messages.   Formatting convention of
       ASC/ASCQ error codes and their corresponding error text in these	 files
       are of the form:

		   0x[ASC], 0x[ASCQ], [error message]
