The status bits +are: +.TP +.B full +set if the element holds a media +.TP +.B access +set if the changer can or is allowed to access the element. If this +bit is not set for the data transfer element, you'll probably have to +use eject the media first. +.TP +.B except +exception - something went really wrong. +.TP +.B inenab +set if the element can import media +.TP +.B exenab +set if the element can export media +.TP +.B impexp +set if the media in the element has been inserted from outside +.P +The last three are used for import/export elements only. +.SH COMMANDS +.TP +.B mover mv <src> <dest> [<rotate>] +This command moves the media from element <src> to element <dest>. +<rotate> can be 0 (default if not specified) or 1. If it is set to 1, +the media will be rotated. That's important for double-sided media +(some MO changers for example). +.br +<src> and <dest> are a letter/number combination. The letter is the +element type (t,s,e or d) and the number is the number of the element, +numbering start with zero. "s4" is slot #5, "d0" the read/write +device, ... Hope you get the idea. +.TP +.B mover ex <src> <dest1> <dest2> [<rotate>] +This command moves media1 from <src> to <dest1>, and media2 from +<dest1> to <dest2>. The scsi standard allows <src> and <dest2> to +address the same element (i.e. exchange <src> and <dest1>). <rotate> +can have the values 0, 1, 2 and 3 here. "1" will rotate media1, "2" +will rotate media2, "3" will rotate both. +.br +The exchange command is optional for SCSI changer devices, so this +might not work if the hardware does not support it. +.TP +.B mover pos <elem> [rotate] +This positions the transport arm in front of element <elem>. This +command is optional too. +.TP +.B mover load <nr> +Move media from storage element <nr> into the first device. This is +just a easy-to-remember shortcut for "mover mv s<nr> d0". +.TP +.B mover unload [<nr>] +Reverse of load, i.e. it moves the media from the first drive to the +storage slot <nr>. The <nr> argument is optional, if it is missing +the media will be moved back to the slot where it was taken from. +This depends on a optional feature too, therefore the command might +not work without the slot number. +.TP +.B mover info <elem> +prints detailed status informations about a element. +.TP +.B mover init +initialize element status (usually makes the changer scan all +elements, may take some time). +.TP +.B mover settag <elem> [ pri | alt ] <tag> +set primary / alternate volume tag for <elem> to <tag>. +.TP +.B mover cleartag <elem> [ pri | alt ] <side> +clear primary / alternate volume tag for <elem>. +.SH SEE ALSO +xmover(1) +.SH AUTHOR +Gerd Knorr <kraxel@bytesex.org> +.SH COPYRIGHT +Copyright (C) 1997-2002 Gerd Knorr <kraxel@bytesex.org> +.P +This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify +it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by +the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or +(at your option) any later version. +.P +This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, +but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of +MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
