说明
mt controls magnetic tape drive operations, commonly used with LTO (Linear Tape-Open) and other SCSI tape drives. It provides commands for positioning, rewinding, ejecting, and writing control marks on tape media. The device is specified with -f option or via the TAPE environment variable. Use /dev/nstX for non-rewinding devices (preserves position after operations) or /dev/stX for auto-rewinding devices.
