Is there an SDK?

Hi, Is anyone aware if there is a SDK which would enable development to provide functionality similar to INQ.EXE?
Regards

INQ simply sends SCSI INQUIRE commands to each SCSI object found in system and reports basic informations as told by device.

I suspect EMC doesn't offer such "SDK" .. however I think you can easily find general SCSI libraries you can use (eventually free of charge). Just to give you a tip, on Linux we have cdrecord, a complex and powerfull tool we use to write CD .. One of the many tasks cdrecord does is to inquire SCSI busses .. Maybe you can steal some code from cdrecord (and its supporting libraries).. Hope it doesn't hurt Joerg ;-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jörg_Schilling

And if you want more/better details on SCSI and Linux (a lovely pair) have a look here:
