Usage
1
Command
Creates the specified number of cartridges with the specified barcode and associ-
ated with the specified library.
Note: If you specify more cartridges than slots defined for the library, this command
only creates enough cartridges for the slots available. That is, if your library has
100 slots and you specify 125 total cartridges, this command creates 100
cartridges. Likewise, if 50 cartridges were already created for this library, this
command would create only 50 more cartridges, even though 125 are specified
by the command.
