cdi_tapesize

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       The  cdi_tapesize  program reports tape capacity on a tape device.  The
       cdi_tapesize program also returns the status of the named  SCSI  device
       (specified  by the -f option).  Note that not all tape devices have the
       capability to report tape  capacity.   Please  refer  to  the  specific
       device  manuals to confirm whether tape capacity reporting is available
       for the device.

OPERANDS

       -f     device
            Specifies the device to obtain tape capacity information from.

OPTIONS

       -t     Use the -t option to specify the method of tape functions to use
              to to obtain tape capacity 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 the complete list of access methods currently  supported  by
              the cdi_tapesize 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_tapesize -f /dev/rmt/2cbn
     cdi_cmd failed - cdi_info.status = CDI_UNSUPPORTED_CMD (5)
     errormsg = command is not supported by the selected target
       cdi_info.drivestat is:
         status = 1, DRIVE_STATUS_NO_ERROR
         msg = Drive reports no error - but state is unknown
