.B blkreport
is used to report device zone information. This is useful for
zoned devices that support the ZAC or ZBC command set.

Options may be used to modify this behavior, changing the starting zone or
the size of the report, as explained below.

argument is the pathname of the block device.
.SH OPTIONS

option arguments may be followed by the multiplicative suffixes KiB (=1024),
MiB (=1024*1024), and so on for GiB, TiB, PiB, EiB, ZiB and YiB (the "iB" is
optional, e.g., "K" has the same meaning as "KiB") or the suffixes
KB (=1000), MB (=1000*1000), and so on for GB, TB, PB, EB, ZB and YB.
