SANITIZE_INQUIRY_STR(9) SCSI mid layer SANITIZE_INQUIRY_STR(9)NAMEsanitize_inquiry_string - remove non-graphical chars from an INQUIRY
result string
SYNOPSIS
void sanitize_inquiry_string(unsigned char * s, int len);
ARGUMENTS
s
INQUIRY result string to sanitize
len
length of the string
DESCRIPTION
The SCSI spec says that INQUIRY vendor, product, and revision strings
must consist entirely of graphic ASCII characters, padded on the right
with spaces. Since not all devices obey this rule, we will replace
non-graphic or non-ASCII characters with spaces. Exception: a NUL
character is interpreted as a string terminator, so all the following
characters are set to spaces.
