Linux utility for listing SCSI devices.

Changelog for released lsscsi-0.32 [20210505] [svn: r167]
  - improve NVMe device parsing (e.g. /dev/nvme0c1n2)
  - print nr_hw_queues when available for SCSI hosts
  - Remove blank line after NVMe device name with -HL
  - collect_disk_wwn_nodes: Fix WWN string copy
  - make WWN printing for NVMe more consistent with
    output from SCSI devices (e.g. with -u and -t)
  - logic to select best SCSI id (--scsi_id) to output
  - clean up warnings for gcc-10
  - build with autoconf 2.70

Changelog for released lsscsi-0.31 [20200220] [svn: r160]
  - cleanup gcc-8 warnings, no cleanup needed for gcc-9
  - fix issue where host managed ZBC devices don't
    output their size. [Fix also for RBC and CD/DVD.]
  - exclude NVMe listings when --classic given
  - fix hex counting issues
  - supply "-" for generic NVMe device one line output
    so 'lsscsi -gb' output is consistent

Changelog for released lsscsi-0.30 [20180612] [svn: r154]
  - add support for NVMe devices and controllers
    - to build without: ./configure --disable-nvme-supp
    - deselect at runtime: lsscsi --no-nvme
    - deselect SCSI devices at runtime: lsscsi N
  - add --brief for tuple + device_name(s) only
  - add --pdt (-D) for device type in hex
  - extend --size (-s) so when given three times
    the size as a logical block count is output
  - add --sz-lbs (-S) that is equivalent to '-sss'
    when used twice adds comma then logical block size
  - '-w' now decodes 128 bit WWN without truncation
  - /dev/disk/by-id/wwn- is not guaranteed to be
    persistent (or stable); instead use
    /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-
  - '-t' on a FC host was not printing the comma
    separator resulting in garbled output, fix
  - debian: bump compat file contents from 7 to 10

Changelog for released lsscsi-0.29 [20160514] [svn: r137]
  - '-u' now decodes locally assigned UUIDs (spc5r08)
  - as last try use T10 Vendor ID for lu name
  - if no lu name found, print 'none'
  - change '-uuu' to output the full lu name followed
    by the normal fields (which were skipped before)
  - add 'U' option, same action as '-uuu'
  - '-UU' prefixes lu names with 'eui.', 'naa.', etc
  - if '-s' given twice, lu size is base 2 related
  - if very long [h:c:t:l] then append space
  - print_enclosure_device() for FCP may be useless,
    comment out while checking ...
  - with '-t' print 0x0000000000000000 for non-SAS
    device in SAS domain
  - autogen.sh: upgrade to 20091223 version
