This directory contains a mt program for Linux. This mt originates
from BSD NET-2. Some Linux SCSI tape-specific ioctls have been added
to the original source and the man page has been updated. Although
this mt program is tailored for SCSI tape, it can also be used with
the QIC-02 driver and hopefully with other Linux tape drivers using
the same ioctls (some of the commands may not work with all drivers).

The support for controlling of the compression for DATs is
experimental. It seem to work with my HP C1533A but may not work with
other drives.

The files:
README       - This file.
Makefile     - Makefile for the mt program.
mt.c         - The mt source.
mt.1         - The man page for mt.
mt           - mt compiled with GCC 2.6.3 and linked with shared
               4.6.27 libraries.
