NAME

scsi_logging_level - access Linux SCSI logging level information

SYNOPSIS

scsi_logging_level [--all=LEV] [--create] [--error=LEV] [--get] [--help] [--highlevel=LEV] [--hlcomplete=LEV] [--hlqueue=LEV] [--ioctl=LEV] [--llcomplete=LEV] [--llqueue=LEV] [--lowlevel=LEV] [--midlevel=LEV] [--mlcomplete=LEV] [--mlqueue=LEV] [--scan=LEV] [--set] [--timeout=LEV] [--version]

DESCRIPTION

This bash shell script accesses the Linux SCSI subsystem logging level. The current values can be shown (e.g. with --get) or changed (e.g. with --set). Superuser permissions will typically be required to set the logging level.

One of these options: --create, --get or --set is required. Only one can be given.

OPTIONS

Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.

LEV is used for all SCSI_LOG fields.
Options are parsed and placed in internal fields that are displayed but no logging levels are changed within the Linux kernel.
LEV is placed in the SCSI_LOG_ERROR field.
Fetches the current SCSI logging levels from the Linux kernel and displays them.
print out the usage message then exit.
LEV is placed in the SCSI_LOG_HLQUEUE and SCSI_LOG_HLCOMPLETE fields.
LEV is placed in the SCSI_LOG_HLCOMPLETE field.
LEV is placed in the SCSI_LOG_HLQUEUE field.
LEV is placed in the SCSI_LOG_IOCTL field.
LEV is placed in the SCSI_LOG_LLCOMPLETE field.
LEV is placed in the SCSI_LOG_LLQUEUE field.
LEV is placed in the SCSI_LOG_LLQUEUE and SCSI_LOG_LLCOMPLETE fields.
LEV is placed in the SCSI_LOG_MLQUEUE and SCSI_LOG_MLCOMPLETE fields.
LEV is placed in the SCSI_LOG_MLCOMPLETE field.
LEV is placed in the SCSI_LOG_MLQUEUE field.
LEV is placed in the SCSI_LOG_SCAN field.
Uses the fields specified in this command's options and attempts to apply them to the Linux SCSI subsystem logging levels. Typically superuser permissions will be required to do this.
LEV is placed in the SCSI_LOG_TIMEOUT field.
Outputs the version information and then exits.
