NAME
rmt - remote magtape protocol module
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/rmt
DESCRIPTION
rmt is a program used by the remote dump and restore programs in manip‐
ulating a magnetic tape drive through an interprocess communication
connection. rmt is normally started up with an rexec(3C) or rcmd(3C)
call.
The rmt program accepts requests that are specific to the manipulation
of magnetic tapes, performs the commands, then responds with a status
indication. All responses are in ASCII and in one of two forms. Suc‐
cessful commands have responses of:
Anumber\n
where number is an ASCII representation of a decimal number.
Unsuccessful commands are responded to with:
Eerror-number\nerror-message\n
where error-number is one of the possible error numbers described
in Intro(3), and error-message is the corresponding error string as
printed from a call to perror(3C).
The protocol consists of the following commands:
S\n
Return the status of the open device, as obtained with a MTIOCGET
ioctl(2) call. If the operation was successful, an "ack" is sent
with the size of the status buffer, then the status buffer is sent
(in binary).
Cdevice\n
Close the currently open device. The device specified is ignored.
Ioperation\ncount\n
Perform a MTIOCOP ioctl(2) command using the specified parameters.
The parameters are interpreted as the ASCII representations of the
decimal values to place in the mt_op and mt_count fields of the
structure used in the ioctl call. When the operation is successful
the return value is the count parameter.
Loffset\nwhence\n
Perform an lseek(2) operation using the specified parameters. The
response value is returned from the lseek call.
Odevice\nmode\n
Open the specified device using the indicated mode. device is a
full pathname, and mode is an ASCII representation of a decimal
number suitable for passing to open(9E). If a device is already
open, it is closed before a new open is performed.
Rcount\n
Read count bytes of data from the open device. rmt performs the re‐
quested read(9E) and responds with Acount-read\n if the read was
successful; otherwise an error in standard format is returned. If
the read was successful, the data read is sent.
Wcount\n
Write data onto the open device. rmt reads count bytes from the
connection, aborting if a premature EOF is encountered. The re‐
sponse value is returned from the write(9E) call.
Any other command causes rmt to exit.
