NAME
tm - TM-11/TU-10 magtape interface
DESCRIPTION
The files mt0, ..., mt7 refer to the DEC TU10/TM11 magtape.
When opened for reading or writing, the magtape is rewound.
A tape consists of a series of 512 byte records terminated
by an end-of-file. When the magtape is closed after
writing, an end-of-file is written.
The magtape can only be opened once at any instant.
FILES
/dev/mt?

BUGS
If you hit the EOF mark or get other non-data errors it
refuses to do anything more until closed. There has to be
some reasonable way to deal with multi-file tapes.
