WRITE FILEMARKS command 10h
The WRITE FILEMARKS command requests the write of zero or more filemarks to tape. The
filemarks will be written at the current logical position on tape. The Filemark count field indicates the
number of filemarks to be written.
With a Filemark count of 0 and the Immediate bit set to 0, the WRITE FILEMARKS command will
cause any data or filemarks previously buffered for writes to be written to tape. This is the SCSI-2
recommended method of causing buffered data and filemarks to be written to tape.
