rascsi(1)                   General Commands Manual                  rascsi(1)

NAME
       rasctl - Sends management commands to the rascsi process

SYNOPSIS
       rasctl -l | -i ID [-u UNIT] [-c CMD] [-t TYPE] [-f FILE]

DESCRIPTION
       rasctl  Sends  commands to the rascsi process to make configuration ad‐
       justments at runtime or to check the status of the devices.

       Either the -i or -l option should be specified at one time. Not both.

       You do NOT need root privileges to use rasctl.

       Note: The command and type arguments are  case  insensitive.  Only  the
       first letter of the command/type is evaluated by the tool.

OPTIONS
       -l     List  all  of  the  devices that are currently being emulated by
              RaSCSI, as well as their current status.

       -i ID  ID is the SCSI ID that you want to control. (0-7)

       -u UNIT
              Unit number (0 or 1). This will default to  0.  This  option  is
              only  used when there are multiple SCSI devices on a shared SCSI
              controller. (This is not common)

       -c CMD Command is the operation being requested. options are:
                 attach: attach disk
                 detach: detach disk
                 insert: insert media (Magneto-Optical and CD only)
                 eject:  eject media  (Magneto-Optical and CD only)
                 protect: Write protect the media (Magneto-Optical only)

              When the command is omitted, rasctl will default to the 'attach'
              command.

       -t TYPE
              Specifies  the type of disk. If this disagrees with the file ex‐
              tension of the specified image, the TYPE  argument  is  ignored.
              Available drive types are:
                 hd: Hard disk (SCSI or SASI)
                 mo: Magneto-Optical disk)
                 cd: CD-ROM
                 bridge:  Bridge  device (This is only applicable to the Sharp
              X68000)

       -f FILE
              Path to the disk image file. See the rascsi(1) man page for  al‐
              lowable file types.

EXAMPLES
       Show a listing of all of the SCSI devices and their current status.
          rasctl -l

       Example output:
          +----+----+------+-------------------------------------
          | ID | UN | TYPE | DEVICE STATUS
          +----+----+------+-------------------------------------
          |  0 |  1 | SCHD | /home/pi/harddisk.hda
          +----+----+------+-------------------------------------

       Request the RaSCSI process to attach a disk (assumed) to SCSI ID 0 with
       the contents of the file system image "HDIIMAGE0.HDS".
          rasctl -i 0 -f HDIIMAGE0.HDS
