Various html files used to be included in this directory but they were
beginning to bloat the size of the source tarball so they have been
removed in version 1.24 .

Here are the urls of the files that were previously here plus a brief
summary:

https://sg.danny.cz/sg/sg3_utils.html
https://doug-gilbert.github.io/sg3_utils.html

https://sg.danny.cz/sg/sg_dd.html

      (also discusses the sgm_dd, sgp_dd and sg_read utilities)

https://doug-gilbert.github.io/sg_ses.html
    - discussion and examples of the sg_ses utility. SCSI Enclosure

      structured in a non-trivial way.

    - discussion of Linux SG_IO ioctl (SCSI pass-through)

https://sg.danny.cz/sg/tools.html

There are two versions of sg_scan: one for Linux and the other for Windows.
They have different man pages: sg_scan.8.linux and sg_scan.8.win32 with
the Makefile logic (rule in Makefile.am) copying the appropriate one to
sg_scan.8 . sg_scan is not supported for other ports.

To view the manpage in this directory (rather than the installed one, if
the package is installed) use, for example:
    man ./sg3_utils.8

Syntax checking
===============
Use 'mandoc -W style {man_page} > /dev/null'

The: 'cannot parse date, using it verbatim: TH February 2019' warning
can be ignored.
