NAME

mt − tape interface

DESCRIPTION

The files mt/ctape? and rmt/ctape? refer to cartridge tape controllers (CTC) and associated tape drives.  These special device files are linked to the standard CTC SA/ctape? and rSA/ctape? files, respectively. 

The labelit(1M) command requires these magnetic tape file names to work correctly with the CTC.  No other CTC commands require these file names.
