+Restore from this device or changer instead of the default, prompting for each volume\&.

\fB\-O\fR \fIdirectory\fR
Assume that all tapes are already available, via tape changer or otherwise, instead of prompting the operator to ensure that all tapes are loaded\&.
.RE
.PP
-\fB\-w\fR
-.RS 4
-Wait to put split dumps together until all chunks have been restored\&. Normally,
-\fBamfetchdump\fR
-will attempt to read pieces of a split file from tape in order, so that it can assemble them simply by appending each file to the first\&. This option disables the appending behavior, and instead restores each piece as an individual file and reassembles them only after all have been restored\&.

Do not reassemble split dump files at all, just restore each piece as an individual file\&.
