FreeBSD magtape interface
DESCRIPTIONThe special files named /dev/[en]sa* refer to SCSI tape drives, which may be attached to the system. /dev/sa*.ctl are control devices that can be used to issue ioctls to the SCSI tape driver to set parameters that are required to last beyond the unmounting of a tape.The rewind devices automatically rewind when the last requested
read, write or seek has finished, or the end of the tape has been reached.
The letter ‘ Tapes can be written with either fixed length records or variable length records. See sa(4) for more information. Two filemarks mark the end of a tape, and one filemark marks the end of a tape file. If the tape is not to be rewound it is positioned with the head in between the two tape marks, where the next write will over write the second end-of-file marker. All of the magtape devices may be manipulated with the mt(1) command. A number of
ioctl(2)
operations are available on raw magnetic tape. The following definitions are
