AMMT(8)								       AMMT(8)

NAME
       ammt - Amanda version of mt

SYNOPSIS
       ammt [-d] [-f | -t | device] command [count]

DESCRIPTION
       Ammt provides just enough of the standard UNIX mt command for the needs
       of Amanda. This is handy when doing a full restore and the standard mt
       program has not yet been found.

       Ammt also provides access to the Amanda output drivers that support
       various tape simulations.

       See the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda. See the
       OUTPUT DRIVERS section of amanda(8) for more information on the Amanda
       output drivers.

OPTIONS
       -d
	   Turn on debugging output.

       -f device
	   Access tape device device. If not specified, the TAPE environment
	   variable is used.

       -t device
	   Same as -f.

       command count
	   Which command to issue, and an optional count of operations.

COMMANDS
       Each command may be abbreviated to whatever length makes it unique.

       eof|weof count
	   Write count (default: 1) end of file marks (tapemarks).

       fsf count

       bsf count
	   Skip backward count (default: 1) files.

       asf count
	   Position to file number count (default: 0) where zero is beginning
	   of tape. This is the same as a rewind followed by a fsf count.

       offline|rewoffl
	   Rewind to beginning of tape and unload the tape from the drive.

       status
	   Report status information about the drive. Which data reported, and
	   what it means, depends on the underlying operating system, and may
	   include:

	       ONLINE
		   Indicates the drive is online and ready.

	       OFFLINE
		   Indicates the drive is offline or not ready.

	       BOT

	       EOT
		   Indicates the drive is at end of tape.

	       PROTECTED
		   Indicates the tape is write protected.

	       ds
		   Device status.

	       er
		   Error register.

	       fileno
		   Current tape file number.

	       blkno
		   Current tape block number file.

       Note
       Many systems only report good data when a tape is in the drive and
       ready.
