       Send  a  SCSI  READ  BLOCK LIMITS command to DEVICE and outputs the response. This command is defined for
       tape (drives) and its description is found in the SSC documents at https://www.t10.org .

       It is usually okay to use no options. Here is an invocation (on the first line following the "#"  command
       prompt) followed by some typical output:

          # sg_read_block_limits /dev/st0
          Read Block Limits results:
            Minimum block size: 1 byte(s)
            Maximum block size: 16777215 byte(s), 16383 KB, 15 MB
            Granularity: 0

       The  exit  status  of sg_read_block_limits is 0 when it is successful. Otherwise see the sg3_utils(8) man
       page.

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

       -h, --help
              output the usage message then exit.

       -H, --hex
              output response in hex (rather than decode it).

       -m, --mloi
              sets the MLOI bit in the READ BLOCK LIMITS command and if that succeeds, prints  out  the  Maximum
              Logical Object Identifier (MLOI) value. The MLOI bit was introduced in the ssc4r02.pdf draft.

       -r, --raw
              output response in binary to stdout.

       -R, --readonly
              open DEVICE in read-only mode. The default is to open it in read-write mode.

       -v, --verbose
              increase the level of verbosity, (i.e. debug output).

       -V, --version
              print the version string and then exit.
