3.30 RELEASE (6) command
This command has been declared obsolete by the T10 committee. However, it is included because it may be implemented on
some products.
The RELEASE(6) command (see table 139) is used to release a previously reserved logical unit. This subclause describes only
those instances where the RELEASE(6) command differs from the RELEASE(10) command. Except for the instances described in
this subclause, the RELEASE(6) command shall function exactly like the RELEASE(10) command (see 3.31).
The RELEASE(6) command shall not release third-party reservations.
