If command-line parameters are provided when the program is started, the command-line mode is
started. For each command-line execution of the program, the device is first opened. The specific
command is issued, and the device is then closed. The program can be driven from within a shell script, if
wanted. Results of the operation are displayed only when run in verbose mode. No information is
displayed when not in verbose mode. This information is useful for quiet shell script implementations. A
completion code, as defined in /usr/include/sys/errno.h for the operation that is requested, is
always returned from the program upon exit (in both verbose and quiet mode).
Use the tapeutil program in command-line mode, as follows:
tapeutil -f device -o operation [options]
where device is the name of the tape device special file (for example: /dev/rmt/1st) and operation is
one of the values that are listed here. The device special file and the operation are required. The specific
options associated with a particular operation are indicated in Table 159 on page 264, Table 160 on page
265, Table 161 on page 265, and Table 162 on page 265. Parameters that are enclosed in square
brackets are optional. All others are required.
