Are you _really_ missing basic know how to understand that fsck is using the block layer of a virtual "block device" emulated by UNIX while libscg is offering _direct_ acces to _any_ type of device allowing you to send _commands_ understood by the device?
fsck is just sending abstract instructions to a virtual device and does not care about
Please explain me:
- how to use /dev/hd* in order to scan an image from a scanner
- how to use /dev/hd* in order to talk to a CPU device
- how to use /dev/hd* in order to talk to a tape device
- how to use /dev/hd* in order to talk to a printer
- how to use /dev/hd* in order to talk to a jukebox
- how to use /dev/hd* in order to talk to a graphical device
