       cdi_get_status - get status information from a tape device

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

DESCRIPTION
       The  cdi_get_status  program  obtains  status  information  from a tape
       device.	The data returned include tape density and block position.

OPERANDS

	    Specifies the device to obtain status information from.

OPTIONS
       -t     Use the -t option to specify the method of tape functions to use
	      to query the device for status information.  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) man‐
	      page for a complete list of access methods  currently  supported
	      by the cdi_get_status program.

	      version number of the CDI library used by the program.

       Sample output from cdi_get_status:

     % cdi_get_status -f /dev/rmt/2cbn

     CDI_GET_STATUS returns:
     DRIVE_STATUS_READY
     current density code = 00
     position is absolute block number 0
