NAME

ctape − cartridge tape pseudo device

DESCRIPTION

The devices ctape0 (rewind) and ctape8 (no rewind) are interfaces to the cartridge tape drive.  On SSM-based machines, they are links to rtm0 and rtm8, respectively.  On SCED-based machines, they are links to rts0 and rts8, respectively.  The ctape links provide a consistent interface to the cartridge tape drive, independent of the machine type.  These links are created by /dev/MAKEDEV when invoked with "std", "mtape", or "ctape".
