mt(7) — SPECIAL FILES AND DEVICES
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 respective controller specific names in the /dev/rmt directory.
The finc(1M), frec(1M), and labelit(1M) commands require the ctape magnetic tape filenames to work correctly with the CTC. No other CTC commands require these filenames.
