Library sense data
“Library sense data” lists the Additional Sense Codes (ASC) and Additional Sense Code Qualifiers
(ASCQ) associated with the reported Sense Keys.
A sense key of 00h (no sense) has no ASC/ASCQ associated with it. A few ASC/ASCQs are associated
with more than one sense key. The sense keys that can give a particular ASC/ASCQ are indicated within
the Sense Key column.
