All responses are in -.Tn ASCII -and in -one of two forms. -Successful commands have responses of: -.Bd -filled -offset indent -.Sm off -.Sy A Ar number No \en -.Sm on -.Ed -.Pp -.Ar Number -is an -.Tn ASCII -representation of a decimal number. -Unsuccessful commands are responded to with: -.Bd -filled -offset indent -.Sm off -.Xo Sy E Ar error-number -.No \en Ar error-message -.No \en -.Xc -.Sm on -.Ed -.Pp -.Ar Error-number -is one of the possible error -numbers described in -.Xr intro 2 -and -.Ar error-message -is the corresponding error string as printed -from a call to -.Xr perror 3 . -The protocol is comprised of the -following commands, which are sent as indicated - no spaces are supplied -between the command and its arguments, or between its arguments, and -.Ql \en -indicates that a newline should be supplied: -.Bl -tag -width Ds -.Sm off -.It Xo Sy \&O Ar device -.No \en Ar mode No \en -.Xc -Open the specified -.Ar device -using the indicated -.Ar mode . -.Ar Device -is a full pathname and -.Ar mode -is an -.Tn ASCII -representation of a decimal -number suitable for passing to -.Xr open 2 . -If a device had already been opened, it is -closed before a new open is performed. -.It Xo Sy C Ar device No \en -.Xc -Close the currently open device. The -.Ar device -specified is ignored. -.It Xo Sy L -.Ar offset No \en -.Ar whence No \en -.Xc -.Sm on -Perform an -.Xr lseek 2 -operation using the specified parameters. -The response value is that returned from the -.Xr lseek -call. -.Sm off -.It Sy W Ar count No \en -.Sm on -Write data onto the open device. -.Nm Rmt -reads -.Ar count -bytes from the connection, aborting if -a premature end-of-file is encountered. -The response value is that returned from -the -.Xr write 2 -call. -.Sm off -.It Sy R Ar count No \en -.Sm on -Read -.Ar count -bytes of data from the open device. -If -.Ar count -exceeds the size of the data buffer (10 kilobytes), it is -truncated to the data buffer size. -.Nm rmt -then performs the requested -.Xr read 2 -and responds with -.Sm off -.Sy A Ar count-read No \en -.Sm on -if the read was -successful; otherwise an error in the -standard format is returned. If the read -was successful, the data read is then sent. -.Sm off -.It Xo Sy I Ar operation -.No \en Ar count No \en -.Xc -.Sm on -Perform a -.Dv MTIOCOP -.Xr ioctl 2 -command using the specified parameters. -The parameters are interpreted as the -.Tn ASCII -representations of the decimal values -to place in the -.Ar mt_op -and -.Ar mt_count -fields of the structure used in the -.Xr ioctl -call. The return value is the -.Ar count -parameter when the operation is successful. -.It Sy S -Return the status of the open device, as -obtained with a -.Dv MTIOCGET -.Xr ioctl -call. If the operation was successful, -an ``ack'' is sent with the size of the -status buffer, then the status buffer is -sent (in binary). -.El -.Sm on -.Pp -Any other command causes -.Nm rmt -to exit. -.Sh DIAGNOSTICS -All responses are of the form described above. -.Sh SEE ALSO -.Xr tar 1 , -.Xr cpio 1 , -.Xr mt 1 , -.Xr rsh 1 , -.Xr rcmd 3 , -.Xr rexec 3 , -.Xr mtio 4 , -.Xr rdump 8 , -.Xr rrestore 8 -.Sh BUGS -People should be discouraged from using this for a remote -file access protocol. -.Sh HISTORY -The -.Nm -command appeared in -.Bx 4.2 .
