Scsi tape write protect status question

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Sorry to bother you all with such an easy thing. I can't figure out how the
kernel knows I have a write protected tape in a drive that I open via

open("/dev/st0", O_RDWR, cf_flg, 0666)

Using the sgio interface I can only sense a write protect status after
attempting to to a write.
How can one know this before doing a write op?

Thanks in advance
Mark
