Currently (at least up to kernel version 1.1.68) input and output
sizes have to be less than or equal than 4096 bytes unless the kernel
has been compiled with SG_BIG_BUFF defined, if which case it is
limited to SG_BIG_BUFF (e.g. 32768) bytes. These sizes include
the generic header as well as the command block on input.
The default timeout value is set to one minute (Timeout = 6000).
It can be changed through an ioctl call (see section
sec-ioctl
).
The default number of retries is one.
