Maybe this helps?
man camcontrol ? :
cmd Allows the user to send an arbitrary SCSI CDB to any
device.
The cmd function requires the -c argument to specify
the CDB.
Other arguments are optional, depending on the command
type.
The command and data specification syntax is documented in
cam_cdbparse(3). NOTE: If the CDB specified causes
data to
be transfered to or from the SCSI device in question, you
MUST specify either -i or -o.
-c cmd [args] This specifies the SCSI CDB. CDBs
may be
6, 10, 12 or 16 bytes.
-i len fmt This specifies the amount of data
to read,
and how it should be displayed. If the
format is `-', len bytes of data
will be
read from the device and written to
stan-
dard output.
-o len fmt [args] This specifies the amount of data to be
written to a device, and the data
that is
to be written. If the format is
`-', len
bytes of data will be read from
standard
input and written to the device.
