.Pp
|
|
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
|
|
.Ql n
|
|
is usually prepended to
|
|
the name of the no-rewind devices.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Unix tapes are written in multiples of 1024 byte block
|
|
records. Two end-of-file markers mark the end of a tape, and
|
|
one end-of-file marker 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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All of the magtape devices may be manipulated with the
|
|
.Xr mt 1
|
|
command.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A number of
|
|
.Xr ioctl 2
|
|
operations are available
|
|
on raw magnetic tape.
