#		sg_compare_and_write.txt
# This file provides a usage example of sg_compare_and_write.
# sg_compare_and_write accepts a buffer containing 2 logical instances:
# - the verify instance: used to match the current content of the LBA range
# - the write instance: used to write to the LBA if the verify succeeds
#
# In case of failure to verify the data, the command will return with check
# condition with the sense code set to MISCOMPARE DURING VERIFY OPERATION.
#
# The following example shows initialization, successful and unsuccessful
# compare and write using sg3_utils. I am using caw_buf_zero2one and
# caw_buf_one2zero as shown below.

$ hexdump /tmp/caw_buf_zero2one
