the device is first opened, the specific command is issued, and the device is then
closed. The program can be driven from within a shell script if desired. Results of
the operation are displayed only when executed in verbose mode. No information
is displayed when not in verbose mode. This is particularly useful for quiet shell
script implementations. A completion code, as defined in
/usr/include/sys/errno.h
, for
the operation requested is always returned from the program upon exit (in both
verbose and quiet mode).
The usage of the
tapeutil
program in command-line mode is as follows:
tapeutil -f
device
-o
operation
[
options
]
Where:
device
is the name of the tape device special file (for example:
/dev/rmt/1st
)
and
operation
is one of the following values. The
device
special file and the
operation
are required. The specific
options
associated with a particular operation
are indicated. Parameters enclosed in square brackets are optional. All others are
required.
