Well that's what Solaris 8 sys/mtio.h tells about MTEOM: #define MTEOM 10 /* position to end of media */ And here NetBSD 1.5: #define MTEOM 10 /* forward to end of media */ Neither of them is saying "Message".

Please correct me if I'm wrong: If I want to append to a tape I would MTEOM on Solaris and MTEOD on FreeBSD so it's supposed to be used for the same reason. None of the OS I looked into had both. But well - that's what HP-UX define: #define MTEOD 8 /* DDS, QIC and 8MM only - seek to end-of-data */ -- B.Walter COSMO-Project http://www.cosmo-project.de ticso@cicely.de Usergroup info@cosmo-project.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
