This directory contains a mt program for Linux. This mt originates
from BSD NET-2. Some Linux SCSI tape-specific ioctls have been added
to the original source and the man page has been updated. Although
this mt program is tailored for SCSI tape, it can also be used with
the QIC-02 driver and hopefully with other Linux tape drivers using
the same ioctls (some of the commands may not work with all drivers).
The files:
README - This file.
Makefile - Makefile for the mt program.
mt.c - The mt source.
mt.1 - The man page for mt.
mt - mt compiled with GCC 2.7.2 and linked with shared ELF
5.3.12 libraries.
Changes since version 0.3:
- support for the ioctls for partitioned tapes
- compiles also with 1.2.13
- the driver options can be specified also with keywords
- floppy tape type is shown
- (not working) support for other operating systems removed
Changes since version 0.2:
- support for new ioctls
- accepts hexadecimal numbers with prefix 0x
- the datcompression command improved (although it is being overrided
by the command compression using a new ioctl)
- bus fixes
