34 \fBAmmt\fR provides just enough of the standard UNIX \fBmt\fR command for the needs of \fBAmanda\fR\&. This is handy when doing a full restore and the standard \fBmt\fR program has not yet been found\&.
37 \fBAmmt\fR also provides access to the \fBAmanda\fR output drivers that support various tape simulations\&.
40 See the \fBamanda\fR(8) man page for more details about \fBAmanda\fR\&. See the \fBOUTPUT DRIVERS\fR section of \fBamanda(8)\fR for more information on the \fBAmanda\fR output drivers\&.
46 Turn on debugging output\&.
49 \fB\-f\fR\fI device\fR
50 Access tape device \fBdevice\fR\&. If not specified, the \fBTAPE\fR environment variable is used\&.

58 Which command to issue, and an optional count of operations\&.
63 Each command may be abbreviated to whatever length makes it unique\&.
66 \fBeof|weof\fR\fB count\fR
67 Write \fBcount\fR (default: 1) end of file marks (tapemarks)\&.
71 Skip forward \fBcount\fR (default: 1) files\&.
75 Skip backward \fBcount\fR (default: 1) files\&.
79 Position to file number \fBcount\fR (default: 0) where zero is beginning of tape\&. This is the same as a \fBrewind\fR followed by a \fBfsf\fR \fBcount\fR\&.
83 Rewind to beginning of tape\&.
87 Rewind to beginning of tape and unload the tape from the drive\&.
91 Report status information about the drive\&. Which data reported, and what it means, depends on the underlying operating system, and may include:
97 Indicates the drive is online and ready\&.
101 Indicates the drive is offline or not ready\&.
105 Indicates the drive is at beginning of tape\&.
109 Indicates the drive is at end of tape\&.
113 Indicates the tape is write protected\&.
125 Current tape file number\&.
129 Current tape block number file\&.
136 Many systems only report good data when a tape is in the drive and ready\&.
