cdi_get_config

SYNOPSIS

       cdi_get_config -f device [ -v ] [ -t { s | t | g | n | m | i } ]

DESCRIPTION

       The  cdi_get_config program obtains configuration information on a tape
       device.  The data output from this command is  collected from the  SCSI
       Mode Sense disconnect/reconnect, data compression and device configura-
       tion pages.

OPERANDS

       -f     device
            Specifies the device to obtain configuration information from.

OPTIONS

       -t     Use the -t option to specify the method of tape functions to use
              to  query  the  device for configuration information.  If the -t
              option is not specified, the default method is  to  use  the  OS
              tape  driver  SCSI  passthrough  functions.  Please refer to the
              libcdi (1) manpage for a complete list of  access  methods  cur-
              rently supported by the cdi_get_config program.

       -v     Run the program in verbose mode.  This option will print out the
              version number of the CDI library used by the program.

EXAMPLES

       Sample output including drive status information:

     % cdi_get_config -f /dev/rmt/2cbn -v
