NAME
tapetool - OpenWindows tool for reading files from tape or
archiving files to tape
SYNOPSIS
tapetool [ generic-tool-arguments ]
AVAILABILITY
This command is available with the OpenWindows environment.
All OpenWindows standard tools use the Graphical User Inter-
face ( GUI ).
DESCRIPTION
tapetool is an OpenWindows based XView application that uses
the tar(1) command to write files to tape, extract files
from tape or list the contents of a tape.
OPTIONS
generic-tool-arguments
tapetool accepts the generic tool arugments
described in xview(7).
USAGE
tapetool is part of the OpenWindows user environment.
There are two windows associated with tapetool. The main
window that appears when the tool is initially brought up is
for writing files to tape. The read window appears when you
`List' the contents of a tape or choose either `Read
Selected' or `Read Entire List'.
`List...' panel-button brings up a `Tape Contents' window
that lists the files on tape. Filenames can be added using
the `File To Read' button. Filenames can be deleted using
the scrolling list popup menu. It may take some time listing
the entire contents of a tape if it contains many files. If
you want to extract just a few files and know the exact
names of the files you may want to do a `Read Selected' that
will bring up an empty `Tape Contents' window. Then add the
filenames to the list using the `File To Read' button and do
a `Read Entire List'.
There are three ways to read files:
Read Selected
Reads the files selected in the `Tape Con-
tents' window.
Read Entire List
Reads all the files listed in the `Tape Con-
tents' window.
Read Entire Tape
Reads the entire tape. The `Tape Contents'
window does not have to be showing to do
this. The files are put into the directory
specified by the `Destination' field if they
do not contain fully qualified pathnames.
To write files to tape, add filenames to the main scrolling
list using the `File To Write' menu button. The main scrol-
ling list has a popup menu for deleting selected files.
`Write' writes the filenames listed in this window to tape.
Props gives a property sheet for specifying tar(1) options.
Device:
/dev/rmt/n SCSI tape drives
Host Name:
Specifies the name of host system where the
reading or archiving of files will be
applied. The default is the current host
name.
Tar Options
Write:
No SCCS F option to tar(1), exclude
all directories named SCCS
from tarfile.
No SCCS+ FF option to tar(1), exclude
all directories named SCCS,
all files with .o as their
suffix, and all files named
errs,core, and a.out.
Block I/0 b option to tar(1), blocking
factor for tape records. The
default blocking factor is 20
blocks. The block size is
determined automatically when
reading tapes. This determina-
tion of the blocking factor
may be fooled when reading
from a pipe or a socket. The
maximum blocking factor is
determined only by the amount
of memory available to tar
when it is run. Larger block-
ing factors result in better
throughput, longer blocks on
nine-track tapes, and better
media utilization.
Sym Links h option to tar(1), follow
symbolic links as if they were
normal files or directories.
Normally, tar does not follow
symbolic links.
Show Errs l option to tar(1), Display
error messages if all links to
archived files cannot be
resolved. If not used, no
error messages are printed.
Suppress o option to tar(1), Suppress
information specifying owner
and modes of directories that
tar normally places in the
archive.
Read:
No Check i option to tar(1), Ignore
directory checksum errors.
Mod Time m option to tar(1), Do not
extract modification times of
extracted files. The modifi-
cation time will be the time
of extraction.
Orig Mode p option to tar(1), Restore
the named files to their ori-
ginal modes, ignoring the
present umask(2). SetUID and
sticky information are also
extracted if you are the
super-user.
Delete Dir:
For writing files to tape
`NONE' retains filename path
exactly as specified.
`ALL' Extracts the entire path
from filename and writes
just the filename.
`PATTERN' extracts the pattern
specifed and writes the
filename left over.
Other:
Err Exit e option to tar(1), If
any unexpected errors
occur tar aborts immedi-
ately with a positive
exit status.
Exclude X option to tar(1),
Specify a file containing
a list of named files (or
directories) to be
excluded when reading
from tape. Only one file
can be specified.
Apply Menu button that applies the options that
have been set.
Reset Menu button that resets the defaults.
You may drag and drop files from filemgr(1) onto the
tapetool write window for writing files to tape. You can
also drop files onto the tapetool icon for writing.

NOTES
The OpenWindows environment may no longer be supported in a

Desktop Environment.
