Clarify meaning of "mt asf". The man page extant says "Absolute space
...
to file count", which is incorrect. File numbering, according to
restore(8), starts at one, and thus "mt asf 1" neither moves to the
first file on the tape nor to file number one on the tape.

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.

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.
