6.1.5: Listing the volumes on your tape

`./contrib/scripts/listtape.pl' and `./contrib/scripts/listtape.sh' are perl resp. Bourne shell scripts which list the contents of a cartridge using the standard tape operation `mt -f tapedev fsf' to skip from one volume to another and the zftape specific `ftmt -f tapedev volinfo' command to query the kernel driver about information about this volume (size, block size, ...). If perl can't be found on your system then `./contrib/scripts/listtape.pl' is installed as `BINDIR/listtape' otherwise the Bourne shell script `./contrib/scripts/listtape.sh' will be used.
