lsscsi-0-12 released

lsscsi is a utility the uses sysfs in linux 2.6 series kernels to list information about all SCSI devices (including devices that use the SCSI stack such as USB mass storage devices) and SCSI hosts. Both a compact format (default) which is one line per device and a "classic" format (like the output of 'cat /proc/scsi/scsi') are supported for SCSI devices:

$ lsscsi
[0:0:0:0]    disk    Linux    scsi_debug       0004  /dev/sda
[1:0:6:0]    tape    SONY     SDT-7000         0192  /dev/st0

$ lsscsi --classic
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor: Linux    Model: scsi_debug       Rev: 0004
  Type:   Direct-Access                    ANSI SCSI revision: 03
Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 06 Lun: 00
  Vendor: SONY     Model: SDT-7000         Rev: 0192
  Type:   Sequential-Access                ANSI SCSI revision: 02

Version 0.12 is available at
http://www.torque.net/scsi/lsscsi.html

This version should match lk 2.6.6 assuming there are no major changes between now and its release.

lsscsi does not currently use libsysfs. The last time I looked, libsysfs sorts directory entries but does not give the user any control over the sort order (lsscsi sort by tuples which have numeric components).
