NAME
cdi_get_config - get configuration information on a tape device
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 (8) 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
