If no file argument is given, +the entire contents of the tape are tabled. + +.ti -3 +l is the same as t_ except that an expanded listing +is produced giving all the available information about the +listed files. + +.in -6 +The following characters may be used in addition to the letter +which selects the function desired. + +.in +6 +.ti -3 +0, ..., 7 This modifier selects the drive on which the tape is mounted. +"0" is the default. + +.ti -3 +v Normally mt__ does its work silently.

Response +"y" means "yes", so the file is treated. Null response +means "no", and the file does not take part +in whatever is being done. Response "x" means "exit"; +the mt__ command terminates immediately. In the x_ function, +files previously asked about +have been extracted already. +With r_, no change has been made to the tape. + +.ti -3 +m make (create) directories during an x_ if necessary. +.in -6 +.sp +.ti 0 +FILES /dev/mt? +.sp +.ti 0 +SEE ALSO tap(I), tap(V) +.sp +.ti 0 +DIAGNOSTICS Tape open error +.br +Tape read error +.br +Tape write error +.br +Directory checksum +.br +Directory overflow +.br +Seek error +.br +Tape overflow +.br +Phase error (a file has changed after it was selected for +dumping but before it was dumped) +.br +.sp +.ti 0 +BUGS If, during an "x", +the files are specified in a different order +than they are on the tape, +seek errors will result because the tape +cannot be rewound. |
