SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       The  cdi_tur  program  sends  a  test unit ready SCSI command to a tape
       device.  The cdi_tur program also returns the status of the named  SCSI
       device (specified by the -f option).

OPERANDS

       -f     device
            Specifies the device to send the SCSI command to.

OPTIONS

       -t     Use the -t option to specify the method of tape functions to use
              to to perform the operation.  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 the  com-
              plete  list of access methods currently supported by the cdi_tur
              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_tur -f /dev/rmt/2cbn
     CDI_TUR successful.
       cdi_info.drivestat is:
         status = 0, DRIVE_STATUS_READY
         msg = The tape drive is ready for use
