This is the remote mag tape library. It allows a program that uses
|
||
|
Unix system calls to transparently use a file (usually a tape drive) on
|
||
|
another system via /etc/rmt, simply by including <rmt.h>. It is
|
||
|
particularly useful with tar and dd, and is supplied with GNU tar.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This package has evolved somewhat over the years. My thanks to the
|
||
|
people who did most of the original work, and those who've contributed
|
||
|
bug fixes; appropriate credit is in the man page and source files.

Enjoy,
