Some of the arguments to the mc command don't seem to want to stick in my head. Therefore, here's the table:
| Argument
| Description
| Example
|
| -p /dev/picker
| Specifies the device to use for the remaining arguments.
|
|
| -r ${element_type}
| Prints out the status (FULL/EMPTY/NONE) of element slots of element type(s). Elements can be:
- D: Data transfer element (commonly called a tape drive)
- I: Import/Export element (CAP)
- S: Storage element (library)
- M: Transport agent (robot arm?)
| mc -p /dev/picker -rI
DT_slot_1 EMPTY
DT_slot_2 EMPTY
DT_slot_3 EMPTY
DT_slot_4 EMPTY
|
| -s${elemnt}${slot} -d${elemnt}${slot}
| Moves the tape in the element listed from the sourse to the ddestination,
| mc -p /dev/picker -sS12 -dI1
