The WRITE FILEMARKS operation constructs a WRITE FILEMARKS command using the WSmk and
Transfer Length fields from the segment descriptor in the corresponding command
fields of the WRITE FILEMARKS command that is issued to the target device.
The Transfer Length field translates into the number of filemarks or set-marks in the
constructed WRITE FILEMARKS command.
All other fields of the issued command are set to 0.
