NAME
       cdi_offline - issue an offline SCSI command to a tape device

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

DESCRIPTION
       The  cdi_offline	 program  issues  an  offline  SCSI  command to a tape
       device.	The cdi_offline program also returns the status of  the	 named
       SCSI device (specified by the -f option).  This operation is synonymous
       to issuing a load with no re-tension, and rewind to  the	 beginning  of
       tape SCSI command.

OPERANDS
       -f     device
	    Specifies  the  device  to	send  the  offline request to.	The -f
	    option is a required option.

OPTIONS
       -t     Use the -t option to specify the method of tape functions to use
	      to  issue	 the  offline  SCSI  command.  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) manpage
	      for the complete list of access methods currently	 supported  by
	      the cdi_offline 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

     % cdi_offline -f /dev/rmt/2cbn

      CDI_OFFLINE successful.
