SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       The  cdi_inq  program  obtains  inquiry information from a tape device.
       The data returned include Vital Product Data (VPD)  pages.   Note  that
       the  inquire (1) command can be used for a more comprehensive output of
       the serial number identifiers.

OPERANDS

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

OPTIONS

       -t     Use the -t option to specify the method of tape functions to use
              to  query  the device for inquiry 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 currently sup-
