NAME
xt - driver for Xylogics 472 1/2 inch tape controller
SYNOPSIS
xt@2d,ee60:[l,m][b][n]
xt@2d,ee68:[l,m][b][n]
DESCRIPTION
The Xylogics 472 tape controller controls Pertec-interface
1/2" tape drives such as the Fujitsu M2444 and the CDC Key-
stone III. The xt driver provides a standard tape interface
to the device; see mtio(7I) for details.
The xt driver supports the character device interface. The
driver can be opened with either rewind on close or no
rewind on close options. The tape format and options are
specified using the device name (see FILES below).
EOT Handling
The user will be notified of end of tape (EOT) on write by a
0 byte count returned the first time this is attempted. This
write must be retried by the user. Subsequent writes will be
successful until the tape winds off the reel. Reading past
EOT is transparent to the user.
IOCTL
See mtio(7I) for a list of ioctls available for tape dev-
ices. However, not all devices support all ioctls. The
driver returns an ENOTTY error on unsupported ioctls.
1/2" tape devices do not support the tape retension func-
tion.
ERRORS
EACCES
The driver is opened for write access and the tape is
write protected.
EBUSY The tape drive is in use by another process. Only one
process can use the tape drive at a time.
EINVAL
The requested number of bytes for a read operation is
less than the actual record length on the tape.
EIO During opening, the tape device is not ready because
either no tape is in the drive, or the drive is not
on-line. Once open, this error is returned if the
requested I/O transfer could not be completed.
ENOTTY
This indicates that the tape device does not support
the requested ioctl function.
ENXIO During opening, the tape device does not exist.

raw devices
For raw devices l,m specifies the density (low, medium), and
b the optional BSD behavior (see mtio(7I)) and n the
optional no rewind behavior. For example /dev/rmt/0lbn
specifies unit 0, low density, BSD behavior, and no rewind.
For 1/2" reel tape devices, the densities are:
l typically 1600 BPI density
m typically 6250 BPI density
ATTRIBUTES

BUGS
Record sizes are restricted to an even number of bytes.
The EOT handling for write operation differs from the
mtio(7I) specification.
