NAME # chio.conf - medium changer configuration file
DESCRIPTION # chio.conf is used to configure some aspects of chio(1), a medium changer.
The configuration file consists of a series of stanzas, one per changer, enclosed in curly braces. Empty lines and lines beginning with ‘#’ in either file are ignored.
The following aspects may be configured:
drive
Provides a non-default mapping between st(4) devices and changer drives.

NAME # chio - medium changer control utility
SYNOPSIS # chio [-f changer] command [arg …]
DESCRIPTION # The chio utility is used to control the operation of medium changers, such as those found in tape and optical disk jukeboxes.
The options are as follows:
-f changer
Use the device changer rather than the default device /dev/ch0.
A medium changer apparatus is made up of elements.

DD(1) - General Commands Manual # DD(1) - General Commands Manual
NAME # dd - convert and copy a file
SYNOPSIS # dd [operand …]
DESCRIPTION # The dd utility copies the standard input to the standard output, applying any specified conversions. Input data is read and written in 512-byte blocks. If input reads are short, input from multiple reads are aggregated to form the output block. When finished, dd displays the number of complete and partial input and output blocks and truncated input records to the standard error output.

MT(1) - General Commands Manual # MT(1) - General Commands Manual
NAME # mt, eject - magnetic tape and removable media manipulating program
SYNOPSIS # mt [-f device] command [count]
eject [-t] device
DESCRIPTION # The mt utility sends commands to a magnetic tape drive. By default, mt performs the requested operation once. Operations may be performed multiple times by specifying count. Note that device must reference a raw (not block) tape device.

MTIO(4) - Device Drivers Manual # MTIO(4) - Device Drivers Manual
NAME # mtio - magtape interface
SYNOPSIS # #include <sys/mtio.h>
DESCRIPTION # This interface concerns devices which are typical tape block devices, see physio(9).
The conventional device letters/numbers is applicable to any of the transport/controller pairs. (But note that only 1600 BPI is available with the TS11, and that 800 BPI is not applicable to TM78.)
When the device last number is between 0-7 the device will operate at 800 BPI (or its lowest density), between 8-15 it will operate at 1600 BPI (or its second density), and between 16-23 it will operate at 6250 BPI.

ST(4) - Device Drivers Manual # ST(4) - Device Drivers Manual
NAME # st - SCSI tape driver
SYNOPSIS # st* at scsibus? #st0 at scsibus0 target 4 lun 0 (fixed-configuration example)
DESCRIPTION # The st driver provides support for SCSI tape drives.
SCSI devices have a relatively high level interface and talk to the system via a SCSI adapter and a SCSI adapter driver e.g. ahc(4). The SCSI adapter must be separately configured into the system before a SCSI tape can be configured.
