"Get/set device parameters for Linux SATA/IDE drives. It's primary use
is for enabling irq-unmasking and IDE multiple-mode.")
"@command{hdparm} is a command-line utility to control ATA controllers and
disk drives. It can increase performance and/or reliability by careful tuning
of hardware settings like power and acoustic management, DMA modes, and caching.
It can also display detailed device information, or be used as a simple
performance benchmarking tool.
@command{hdparm} provides a command line interface to various Linux kernel
interfaces provided by the SATA/ATA/SAS @code{libata} subsystem, and the older
IDE driver subsystem. Many external USB drive enclosures with @dfn{SCSI-ATA
Command Translation} (SAT) are also supported.")
