-The upper level amanda code (including some of the other tape_xxx 
-routines) calls the following routines which implement a virtual
-tape table:
-    int tape_access(filename, mode) 
-       Acts like access(2) on possibly virtual devices
-    int tape_open(filename, mode)
-       Acts like open(2) on possibly virtual devices
-    int tape_stat(filename, buf) 
-       Acts like stat(2) on possibly virtual devices
-    int tapefd_close(tapefd)
-       Acts like close(2) on possibly virtual devices
-    int tapefd_fsf(tapefd, count)
-       Forward skips the (possibly virtual) device.
-    int tapefd_read(tapefd, buffer, count)
-       Reads a block from the (possibly virtual) device.
-    int tapefd_rewind(tapefd)
-       Reads a block from a (possibly virtual) device.
-    void tapefd_resetofs(tapefd)
-       Uses lseek() tricks to reset the write/read offset counter on
-       a virtual tape device.
-    int tapefd_unload(tapefd)
-       Unloads the media from a (possibly virtual) device.
-    int tapefd_status(tapefd) 
-       prints status of the (possibly virtual) device to standard output.
-    int tapefd_weof(tapefd, count)
-       writes a filemark/moves to the next file on a device for writing.
-    int tapefd_write(tapefd, buffer, count)
-       writes a block of data to a (possibly virtual) device.
-
-For a tape type xxx, the following routines must be provided, and 
-entered into the table "vtable" in tape-src/tapeio.c:
-    int xxx_tape_access(filename, mode) 
-    int xxx_tape_open(filename, mode)
-    int xxx_tape_stat(filename, buf) 
-    int xxx_tapefd_close(xxx_tapefd)
-    int xxx_tapefd_fsf(xxx_tapefd, count)
-    int xxx_tapefd_read(xxx_tapefd, buffer, count)
-    int xxx_tapefd_rewind(xxx_tapefd)
-    void xxx_tapefd_resetofs(xxx_tapefd)
-    int xxx_tapefd_unload(xxx_tapefd)
-    int xxx_tapefd_status(xxx_tapefd) 
-    int xxx_tapefd_weof(xxx_tapefd, count)
-    int xxx_tapefd_write(xxx_tapefd, buffer, count)

-Along with a prefix string which will identify the type.  The initial
-vtape layer has two types "plain" and "rait" (Redundant Array of
-Inexpensive Tapes) but we hope to add a "rmt" (remote tape client),
-and possibly "dvd" types soon.
