Package: libatasmart-bin
Version: 0.17-1
Severity: important

The programs in libatasmart-bin are quite useful and simple for mere
mortals to understand in comparison with the complexity of smartctl from
smartmontools.

Unfortunately, the utilities don't have documentation and one has to
know, beforehand, that they accept options for optional passthru with
USB bridges.

It would be very nice to have this documented (I keep forgetting the
syntax and users new to the tools may not even know the possibility of
them being available).


Thanks in advance, Rogério Brito.
