Internet SCSI (iSCSI) is a network protocol standard, that allows the use of the SCSI protocol over TCP/IP networks, the iscontrol program is the userland side of an iSCSI session, see iscsi_initiator(4). It has 2 modes of operation, if -d (discovery session) is specified, it will print out the target names returned by the target and exit. In the second mode, it will, after a successful login/negotiation, run in daemon mode, monitoring the connection, and will try to reconnect in case of a network/target failure. It will terminate/logout the session when a SIGHUP signal is received. The flags are as follows:

-c file	a file containing configuration key-options, see iscsi.conf(5).
-d	do a discovery session and exit.
-n nickname
	if -c file is specified, then search for the block named nickname in that file, see iscsi.conf(5).
-p pidfile
	will write the process ID of the session to the specified pidfile
-t target
	the target's IP address or name.
-v	verbose mode.
variable=value
	see iscsi.conf(5) for the complete list of variables/options and their possible values.
