.SH "SPECIFYING CHANGERS"
.PP
Changer specifications are strings like
-\FCchg\-disk:/my/vtapes\F[]\&. The
-\FCchg\-\F[]
+chg\-disk:/my/vtapes\&. The
+chg\-
prefix serves to differentiate changers from devices (see
-\fBamanda-devices\fR(7))\&. The next portion (\FCdisk\F[], in this case) identifies the particular changer driver to use, and everything that follows the
-\FC:\F[]
+\fBamanda-devices\fR(7))\&. The next portion (disk, in this case) identifies the particular changer driver to use, and everything that follows the
+:
is interpreted by the driver\&.
.PP
A name which does not match this pattern, but which matches an old changer script (e\&.g\&.,
-\FCchg\-zd\-mtx\F[]), invokes the backward\-compatibility changer driver as
-\FCchg\-compat:chg\-zd\-mtx\F[]\&. If the name does not match an old changer, then it is treated as an Amanda device, and is wrapped by the single\-device changer, e\&.g\&.,
-\FCchg\-single:tape:/dev/rmt/0\F[]\&.
+chg\-zd\-mtx), invokes the backward\-compatibility changer driver as
+chg\-compat:chg\-zd\-mtx\&. If the name does not match an old changer, then it is treated as an Amanda device, and is wrapped by the single\-device changer, e\&.g\&.,
+chg\-single:tape:/dev/rmt/0\&.
.PP
Changers which require additional parameters can also be described in
\fBamanda.conf\fR(5)
.PP
This changer driver replaces the old
\fBchg\-disk\fR, supporting parallel access to vtapes stored in directories named
-\FCslotN\F[]
+slotN
in the directory specified after
-\FCchg\-disk:\F[]\&. It does so by creating numbered "drives" so that simultaneous processes can access distinct slots\&.

This changer script supports sequential access to vtapes stored in directories named

in the directory specified by the
\fItapedev\fR
parameter\&.

.PP
This changer script constructs RAIT devices out of the devices provided by several "sub\-changers"\&. The configuration file specifies
-\FCnchangers\F[], the number of subchangers, and then provides
-\FCtpchanger\F[],
-\FCchangerdev_N\F[],
-\FCchangerfile_N\F[], and
-\FCtpchanger_N\F[]
+nchangers, the number of subchangers, and then provides
+tpchanger,
+changerdev_N,
+changerfile_N, and
+tpchanger_N
for each sub\-changer, 1 through N\&.

.PP
Amanda has many other changer scripts and programs beyond those described here (see the
-\FCchanger\-src/\F[]
+changer\-src/
in the source directory), but most of these scripts are unmaintained and undocumented, and will be removed when the new changer API is fully implemented\&.
