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.

NAME # rmt - remote magtape protocol module
SYNOPSIS # rmt [-r | -w] [-d directory]
DESCRIPTION # rmt is a program used by the remote dump and restore programs through an interprocess communication connection. Traditionally it is used for manipulating a magnetic tape drive but it may be used for regular file access as well. rmt is normally started up with an rcmd(3) or rcmdsh(3) call.

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.
