8.5.1.8: MTOFFL

Rewind the tape cartridge and put the drive off-line. This should result in ejecting the tape cartridge. However, floppy tape drives don't support this. Therefore zftape (as did ftape-2.x and sftape) implements this command as a `soft eject' in the sense that the driver rejects any further operation with the exception of a reset command. MTOFFL always results in updating of the header segments if necessary.

Example

mt -f /dev/nqft0 offl

or equivalently

mt -f /dev/nqft0 rewoffl
