LIBRMT(3L)

NAME
librmt - remote magtape protocol client interface library

SYNOPSIS

cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lrmt -lsocket -lnsl [ library ... ]

#include <librmt.h>

DESCRIPTION

Functions in this library provide an interface to a remote tape server program.

This implementation takes care of RMT protocol VERSION 1

ENVIRONMENT

RSH If the RSH environment is present, the remote connection will not be created via rcmd(3) but by calling the program pointed to by RSH. Use e.g. RSH=/usr/bin/ssh to create a secure shell connection.

RMT If the RMT environment is present, the remote tape server will not be the program /etc/rmt but the program pointed to by RMT. Note that the remote tape server program name will be ignored if you log in using an account that has been created with a remote tape server program as login shell.

INTERFACES
rmtinit(), rmtdebug(), rmthostname(), rmtfilename(), rmtgetconn(), rmtopen(), rmtioctl(), rmtclose(), rmtread(), rmtwrite(), rmtseek(), rmtxstatus(), rmtstatus(), _mtg2rmtg(), _rmtg2mtg()
