- 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
