NAME
     scsi_setup_cdb - setup SCSI command descriptor block (CDB)

SYNOPSIS
     int scsi_setup_cdb(union scsi_cdb *cdbp, uchar_t cmd, uint_t addr,
          uint_t cnt, uint_t othr_cdb_data);


INTERFACE LEVEL
     Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).

PARAMETERS
     cdbp             Pointer to command descriptor block.


     cmd              The first byte of the SCSI group 0,  1,  2,
                      4, or 5 CDB.


     addr             Pointer to the location of the data.


     cnt              Data transfer length in  units  defined  by
                      the  SCSI  device type. For sequential dev-
                      ices cnt is the number of bytes. For  block
                      devices, cnt is the number of blocks.


     othr_cdb_data    Additional CDB data.


DESCRIPTION
     The scsi_setup_cdb() function initializes a group 0,  1,  2,
     4, or 5 type of command descriptor block pointed to by  cdbp
     using cmd, addr, cnt, othr_cdb_data.


     addr should be set to 0 for commands  having  no  addressing
     information  (for  example, group 0 READ command for sequen-
     tial access devices). othr_cdb_data should be additional CDB
     data for Group 4 commands; otherwise, it should be set to 0.


     The scsi_setup_cdb() function does not set the LUN  bits  in
     CDB[1]  as  the   makecom(9F) functions do.  Also, the fixed
     bit for sequential access device commands is not set.

RETURN VALUES
     The scsi_setup_cdb() function returns:

     1    Upon success.
