   NAME
         mt - tape interface

   DESCRIPTION
         The files /dev/rmt/ctape? refer to cartridge tape controllers (CTC)
         and associated tape drives.  The files /dev/rmt/ninetrack? refer to
         nine track tape controllers and associated tape drives.  These
         special device files and the /dev/rSA/ctape? and /dev/rSA/ninetrack?
         special files are linked to the their respective controller specific
         names in the /dev/rmt directory.

         The finc(1M), frec(1M), and labelit(1M) commands require the ctape
         magnetic tape file names to work correctly with the CTC.  No other
         CTC commands require these file names.
