Command-line mode
If command-line parameters are provided when the tapeutil program is started, the command-line mode
is 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
wanted. Results of the operation are displayed only when run in verbose mode. No information is
displayed when not in verbose mode. This operation is useful for quiet shell script implementations. A
completion code, as defined in
/usr/include/sys/errno.h
for the operation that is 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 that are listed here. The device special file and the operation are required. The specific
options associated with a particular operation are indicated in Table 163 on page 270, Table 164 on page
271, Table 165 on page 271 and Table 166 on page 271. Parameters that are enclosed in square brackets
are optional. All others are required.
