- By default, MAGTAPE uses SCSI device unit 4. To change the default, you must
- use both the DEVICE and UNIT keywords.
-
- The RET | RETENSION option runs the tape to the end and rewinds it. The REW |
- REWIND option rewinds the tape. The SKIP <n> option skips <n> files on the
- tape.
-
- MAGTAPE tests to see if the unit is ready before sending the command. If your
- tape is not on-line, repeat the command.

- Example:
-
- 1> MAGTAPE DEVICE second_scsi.device UNIT 0 REW
