Command-Line Mode
|
If command-line parameters are provided when the tapeutil program is invoked, the command-line mode
|
will be started. For each command-line execution of the program, 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 will be 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).
|
Command-Line Commands and Syntax:
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/1m) and operation is one
|
of the values listed below. The device special file and the operation are required. The specific options
|
associated with a particular operation are indicated in Figure 315, Figure 316, Figure 317 and Figure 318
|
on page APPENDA-12. Parameters enclosed in square brackets are optional. All others are required.
