Purpose
Defines the
magnetic tape user include file.
Description
The /usr/include/sys/mtio.h file is for use with devices that are
driven by the magnetic tape driver. Since Linux operating system
has an mtio.h file, the sys/mtio.h file has been added
for Linux compatibility.
The sys/mtio.h file can be used for ESCON® tape drives or for Linux-compatible source
code.
Note: - For Linux source-code
compatibility (that is, source code or definitions based on the Linux operating system),
set the following before including the sys/mtio.h file:
#define _LINUX_SOURCE_COMPAT
- For an application that uses ESCON tape devices, install
the ESCON tape device
driver file sets on the build machine to obtain the sys/mtextend.h file. The ESCON tape
device driver file sets are devices.pci.esconCH.rte and devices.common.IBM.esconCH.mtdd.rte.
