smp_rep_manufacturer - invoke REPORT MANUFACTURER INFORMATION SMP function

       Written by Douglas Gilbert.

       The SMP REPORT MANUFACTURER function was introduced in SAS-1, with small  additions  in  SAS-1.1  .  This
       function remains unaltered in SAS-2 and SPL-1.

       Sends a SAS Serial Management Protocol (SMP) REPORT MANUFACTURER INFORMATION function request to  an  SMP
       target.  The SMP target is identified by the SMP_DEVICE and the SAS_ADDR. Depending on the interface, the
       SAS_ADDR may be deduced from the SMP_DEVICE. The mpt interface uses SMP_DEVICE to identify a HBA (an  SMP
       initiator) and needs the additional ,N to differentiate between HBAs if there are multiple present.

       Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.

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

       -H, --hex
              output the response (less the CRC field) in hexadecimal.

       -I, --interface=PARAMS
              interface  specific  parameters. In this case "interface" refers to the path through the operating
              system to the SMP initiator. See the smp_utils man page for more information.

       -r, --raw
              send the response (less the CRC field) to stdout in binary. All error messages are sent to stderr.

       -s, --sa=SAS_ADDR
              specifies the SAS address of the SMP target device. Typically this is an expander. This option may
              not be needed if the SMP_DEVICE has the target's SAS address within it. The SAS_ADDR is in decimal
              but most SAS addresses are shown in hexadecimal. To give a number in hexadecimal either prefix  it
              with '0x' or put a trailing 'h' on it.

       -v, --verbose
              increase the verbosity of the output. Can be used multiple times

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

       -z, --zero
              zero  the  Allocated  Response  Length  field  in the request. This is required for strict SAS-1.1
              compliance. However this option should not be given in SAS-2 and later; if it is given an abridged
              response may result.
