NAME
       cdi_bsf - issue a backward space file SCSI command to a tape device

SYNOPSIS
       cdi_bsf -f device -n count [ -v ] [ -t { s | t | g | n | m | i } ]

DESCRIPTION
       The  cdi_bsf program issues a backward space file (bsf) SCSI command to
       a tape device.  The cdi_bsf program also	 returns  the  status  of  the
       named SCSI device (specified by the -f option).

OPERANDS
       -f     device
	    Specifies the device to send the bsf SCSI command to.

       -n     count
	    The file count for the bsf SCSI command.  The "-n count" parameter
	    is required.

OPTIONS
       -t     Use the -t option to specify the method of tape functions to use
	      to  issue	 the bsf SCSI command.	If the -t option is not speci‐
	      fied, the default method is to  use  the	OS  tape  driver  SCSI
	      passthrough  functions.	Please refer to the libcdi (8) manpage
	      for the complete list of access methods currently	 supported  by
	      the cdi_bsf 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 including drive status information:

     % cdi_bsf -f /dev/rmt/2cbn -n 2

     CDI_BSF 2 successful.
      elapsed time for command was 0 seconds
      cdi_info.drivestat is:
	status = 0, DRIVE_STATUS_READY
	msg = The tape drive is ready for use
