>Assumes 3rd argument is pointing to an object of type Sg_scsi_id (see
sg.h) and populates it. That structure contains ints for host_no,
channel, scsi_id, lun, scsi_type, allowable commands per lun and
queue_depth. Most of this information is available from other sources
(e.g. SCSI_IOCTL_GET_IDLUN and SCSI_IOCTL_GET_BUS_NUMBER) but tends to be
awkward to collect.
Allowable commands per lun and queue_depth give an insight to the
command queuing capabilities of the adapters and the device. The latter
overrides the former (logically) and the former is only of interest
if it is equal to queue_depth which probably indicates the device
does not support queuing commands (e.g. most scanners).
