+The sdparm utility outputs and in some cases modifies SCSI device
+parameters. When the SCSI device is a disk, sdparm's role is similar
+to its  namesake: the linux hdparm utility which is for ATA disks that
+usually have device names starting with "hd". More generally sdparm
+can be used to output and modify parameters on any device that uses a
+SCSI command set. Apart from SCSI disks, such devices include CD/DVD
+drives (irrespective of transport), SCSI and ATAPI tape drives and
+SCSI enclosures. A small set of commands associated with starting
+and stopping the media, loading and unloading removable media and
+some other housekeeping functions can also be sent by this utility.
