| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .\" Add any additional description here |
| .PP |
| sg_test_rwbuf writes and reads back sz bytes to the internal buffer of |
| device /dev/sgX. For testing purposes, you can ask it to write |
| (addwr) or read (addrd) some more bytes. |
| .PP |
| \fBWARNING\fR: If you access the device at the same time, e.g. because it's a |
| mounted hard disk, the device's buffer may be used by the device |
| itself for other data at the same time, and overwriting it may or may |
| not cause data corruption! |
