NAME
     scsi_arq_status - SCSI auto request sense structure

SYNOPSIS
     #include 


INTERFACE LEVEL
     Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI)

DESCRIPTION
     When   auto   request   sense   has   been   enabled   using
     scsi_ifsetcap(9F)  and  the  "auto-rqsense"  capability, the
     target driver must allocate a status area in the SCSI packet
     structure   for   the  auto  request  sense  structure  (see
     scsi_pkt(9S)).  In the event of a check condition, the tran-
     sport  layer automatically executes a request sense command.
     This check ensures that the request sense  information  does
     not  get lost. The auto request sense structure supplies the
     SCSI status of the original command, the transport  informa-
     tion  pertaining  to  the  request  sense  command,  and the
     request sense data.

STRUCTURE MEMBERS
       struct scsi_status       sts_status;          /* SCSI status */
       struct scsi_status       sts_rqpkt_status;    /* SCSI status of
                                                        request sense cmd */
       uchar_t                  sts_rqpkt_reason;    /* reason completion */
       uchar_t                  sts_rqpkt_resid;     /* residue */
       uint_t                   sts_rqpkt_state;     /* state of command */
       uint_t                   sts_rqpkt_statistics;/* statistics */
       struct scsi_extended_sense sts_sensedata;      /* actual sense data */



     sts_status is the SCSI status of the  original  command.  If
     the  status indicates a check condition, the transport layer
     might have performed an auto request sense command.


     sts_rqpkt_status is the SCSI status  of  the  request  sense
     command.  sts_rqpkt_reason  is  the completion reason of the
     request sense command. If the reason is not CMD_CMPLT,  then
     the request sense command did not complete normally.


     sts_rqpkt_resid is the residual count of the  data  transfer
     and  indicates  the  number of data bytes that have not been
     transferred.  The  auto  request  sense   command   requests
     SENSE_LENGTH bytes.

     sts_rqpkt_state has bit positions representing the five most
     important statuses that a  SCSI command can go obtain.


     sts_rqpkt_statistics maintains transport-related  statistics
     of the request sense command.


     sts_sensedata contains the actual sense data if the  request
     sense command completed normally.
