CDI_LOCATE(8)							 CDI_LOCATE(8)

NAME
       cdi_locate  -  position	to  a  given block on a tape mounted on a tape
       device

SYNOPSIS
       cdi_locate -f device -n block [ -a ] [ -v ] [ -t { s | t | g | n | m  |
		  i } ]

DESCRIPTION
       The  cdi_locate program positions to a given block on a tape mounted on
       a tape device.

OPERANDS
       -f     device
	    Specifies the device to position to.

       -n     block
	    Specify the block on a mounted tape to position to.

OPTIONS
       -a     Use asynchronous I/O for the operation.	Rather	than  blocking
	      till  completion,	 the  program  will  return  immediately.  The
	      default is synchronous I/O.

       -t     Use the -t option to specify the method of tape functions to use
	      to  position  to a given block on tape.  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 currently supported by the
	      cdi_locate 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 from cdi_locate:

     % cdi_locate -f /dev/rmt/2cbn -n 300

     CDI_GET_STATUS returns:
      locate successful:  position to block 300 took 0 seconds
       cdi_info.drivestat is:
	 status = 0, DRIVE_STATUS_READY
	 msg = The tape drive is ready for use
