eject(1)                 USER COMMANDS                   eject(1)



NAME
     eject - unload floppy from the floppy drive

SYNOPSIS
     eject [ -w ] [ -n ] [ -f floppyname ]

DESCRIPTION
     eject sends an unload command to a floppy drive.  If floppy-
     name  is  not  specified, the environment variable FLOPPY is
     used.  If FLOPPY does  not  exist,  eject  uses  the  device
     /dev/rfd0.   floppyname  must  refer  to  a  raw (not block)
     floppy device.  By default, eject issues the unload  command
     to  the  drive and returns immediately.  If the -w option is
     used, eject waits for the floppy  to  be  removed  from  the
     drive before returning.  If the -n option is used, the eject
     program returns after the unload command is issued.
