- MTIO(4) Minix Programmer's Manual MTIO(4)
- NAME
- mtio - magnetic tape commands
- SYNOPSIS
- #include <sys/types.h>
- #include <sys/mtio.h>
- #include <sys/ioctl.h>
- DESCRIPTION
- The magnetic tape devices described in sd(4) may be sent commands or
- queried for their status using the following ioctl calls:
- ioctl(fd, MTIOCTOP, &struct mtop)
- ioctl(fd, MTIOCGET, &struct mtget)
- The struct mtop, struct mtget and associated definitions are defined in
- <sys/mtio.h> as follows:
- /* Tape operations: ioctl(fd, MTIOCTOP, &struct mtop) */
- struct mtop {
- short mt_op; /* Operation (MTWEOF, etc.) */
- int mt_count; /* Repeat count. */
- };
- #define MTWEOF 0 /* Write End-Of-File Marker */
- #define MTFSF 1 /* Forward Space File mark */
- #define MTBSF 2 /* Backward Space File mark */
- #define MTFSR 3 /* Forward Space Record */
- #define MTBSR 4 /* Backward Space Record */
- #define MTREW 5 /* Rewind tape */
- #define MTOFFL 6 /* Rewind and take Offline */
- #define MTNOP 7 /* No-Operation, set status only */
- #define MTRETEN 8 /* Retension (completely wind and rewind) */
- #define MTERASE 9 /* Erase the tape and rewind */
- #define MTEOM 10 /* Position at End-Of-Media */
- #define MTMODE 11 /* Select tape density */
- #define MTBLKZ 12 /* Select tape block size */
- /* Tape status: ioctl(fd, MTIOCGET, &struct mtget) */
- struct mtget {
- short mt_type; /* Type of tape device. */
- /* Device dependent "registers". */
- short mt_dsreg; /* Drive status register. */
- short mt_erreg; /* Error register. */
- /* Misc info. */
- off_t mt_resid; /* Residual count. */

- MTIO(4) Minix Programmer's Manual MTIO(4)
- off_t mt_fileno; /* Current File Number. */
- off_t mt_blkno; /* Current Block Number within file. */
- off_t mt_blksize; /* Current block size. */
- };
- See mt(1) for a detailed description on what each operation does. The
- mt_type field is always zero, there is no use for it yet. Mt_dsreg is 0
- (OK), 1 (Error), or 2 (EOF encountered.) Mt_erreg holds the SCSI sense
- key of the last operation. Mt_blksize is the current tape block size in
- bytes, zero if the block size is variable.
- Note that one can issue these commands on a file descriptor that is in
- use to read or write data, something that mt can't do. So you can add
- eof markers in the middle of an output stream, or get the status of a
- device before a rewind-on-close tape rewinds.
- The driver will automatically add an end of file marker to a tape that is
- written to if you execute a space command. If you write eof markers
- yourself then the driver will not add one extra on close.
