tron e9ac36eda7 Add "setblk" as alias for "blocksize" and "setdensity" as alias for
"density". This makes life easier for people which use NetBSD and Linux.

garbled f124765044 More and more .Os cleanups. .Os is defined in the tmac.doc-common file,
so we shouldn't override it with versions in the manpages.  Many more to
come.

hannken 0b34aaa0a4 Allow a count of zero for the following commands:
blocksize density eom erase offline rewind rewoffl status retension

jtc 33849ebec9 Add the asf command for absolute tape positioning.
Some cleanup of the remote tape interface, but a lot more is needed.
Ideally, we'd have a "rmt" library which provides a remote tape API
including open, read, write, close, and ioctl.  This is useful not
only for mt, but also for programs like tar, cpio, pax, backup and
restore.

jtc a13d94f0b7 Change default magtape from /dev/rmt12 to /dev/rst0; PR #1399 1995-08-22 19:36:00 +00:00
jtc 23e6aab105 Use "utility" instead of "command". Modern definitions of these terms
are distinct (See POSIX.2 glossary).

A utility is a executable, script or shell builtin; while a command
can be any of those things plus lists, pipelines, compound commands
(if, for, while) and shell function definitions.
