+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B sg_rep_pip
+[\fI\-\-help\fR] [\fI\-\-hex\fR] [\fI\-\-maxlen=LEN\fR] [\fI\-\-raw\fR]
+[\fI\-\-readonly\fR] [\fI\-\-verbose\fR] [\fI\-\-version\fR]

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.\" Add any additional description here
+.PP
+Sends a SCSI REPORT PROVISIONING INITIALIZATION PATTERN command to
+\fIDEVICE\fR and outputs the data returned. This command is found in the
+SBC\-4 draft standard, revision 21 (sbc4r21.pdf).
+.SH OPTIONS
+Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.
+.TP
+\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
+output the usage message then exit.
+.TP
+\fB\-H\fR, \fB\-\-hex\fR
+output the response in hexadecimal to stdout. When used once the whole
+response is output in ASCII hexadecimal, prefixed by an address (starting at
+0) on each line. When used twice the whole response is output in hexadecimal
+with no leading address (on each line). The default action is the same as
+giving the \fI\-\-hex\fR option once.
+.TP
+\fB\-m\fR, \fB\-\-maxlen\fR=\fILEN\fR
+where \fILEN\fR is the (maximum) response length in bytes. It is placed in
+the cdb's "allocation length" field. If not given (or \fILEN\fR is zero)
+then 8192 is used. The maximum allowed value of \fILEN\fR is 1048576.
+.TP
+\fB\-r\fR, \fB\-\-raw\fR
+output the SCSI response (i.e. the data\-out buffer) in binary (to stdout).
+.TP
+\fB\-R\fR, \fB\-\-readonly\fR
+open the \fIDEVICE\fR read\-only (e.g. in Unix with the O_RDONLY flag).
+The default is to open it read\-write.
+.TP
+\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR
+increase the level of verbosity, (i.e. debug output).
+.TP
+\fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
+print the version string and then exit.
+.SH EXIT STATUS
+The exit status of sg_rep_pip is 0 when it is successful. Otherwise see
+the sg3_utils(8) man page.
