==Name==
See {{man|8|ammt}}.
 
ammt — AMANDA version of mt
 
==Synopsis==
 
ammt [-d ] [ -f | -t | device ] command [count]
 
==DESCRIPTION==
 
Ammt provides just enough of the standard UNIX mt command for the needs of AMANDA. This is handy when doing a full restore and the standard mt program has not yet been found.
 
Ammt also provides access to the AMANDA output drivers that support various tape simulations.
 
See the amanda(8) man page for more details about AMANDA. See the OUTPUT DRIVERS section of amanda(8) for more information on the AMANDA output drivers.
 
==OPTIONS==
 
-d
 
    Turn on debugging output.
-f device
 
    Access tape device device. If not specified, the TAPE environment variable is used.
-t device
 
    Same as -f.
command count
 
    Which command to issue, and an optional count of operations.
 
==COMMANDS==
 
Each command may be abbreviated to whatever length makes it unique.
 
eof|weof count
 
    Write count (default: 1) end of file marks (tapemarks).
fsf count
 
    Skip forward count (default: 1) files.
bsf count
 
    Skip backward count (default: 1) files.
asf count
 
    Position to file number count (default: 0) where zero is beginning of tape. This is the same as a rewind followed by a fsf count.
rewind
 
    Rewind to beginning of tape.
offline|rewoffl
 
    Rewind to beginning of tape and unload the tape from the drive.
status
 
    Report status information about the drive. Which data reported, and what it means, depends on the underlying operating system, and may include:
 
    ONLINE    Indicates the drive is online and ready.
    OFFLINE    Indicates the drive is offline or not ready.
    BOT        Indicates the drive is at beginning of tape.
    EOT        Indicates the drive is at end of tape.
    PROTECTED  Indicates the tape is write protected.
    ds        Device status.
    er        Error register.
    fileno    Current tape file number.
    blkno      Current tape block number file.
 
Note
Many systems only report good data when a tape is in the drive and ready.
