Hi there,
One of my colleagues is porting a C program from Solaris to DU4.0.
The program accesses magnetic tape drives (we use mainly EXABYTE 8505
drives). On Solaris he can from within his program get the current
file and block number position on the tape, because in <sys/mtio.h> the
structure mtget includes the following two members:
daddr_t mt_fileno; /* file number of current position */
daddr_t mt_blkno; /* block number of current position */
On DU4.0 the mtget structure does not have these members. Does anybody
out there know if and how it is possible to find the current file and block
number position from within a C program on DU4.0?
