Inquiry
The Inquiry command (12h) requests that the library send to the initiator information
regarding the library’s parameters.
The Inquiry data returned for the Standard Inquiry page and the Inquiry Device
Identification Page depend on the bridged tape drive.
Note – The Inquiry command returns check condition status only
when the requested data cannot be returned. This command will
not clear any pending unit attention conditions.

Allocation Length
The allocation length field specifies the maximum number of bytes that the
initiator has allocated for data returned from the Inquiry command. The library
transfers either the number of bytes specified by the Allocation Length field or
all of the available inquiry data, whichever is less.
A value of 0 indicates that no inquiry data is to be transferred. This condition is
not considered an error.
