 1.37  01-Sep-2018  mlelstv Make tape cache ioctls available to userland command.
 1.36  19-Mar-2012  njoly branches: 1.36.32; 1.36.34;
Adjust for mandoc output.
 1.35  28-Apr-2011  wiz branches: 1.35.4;
Sort sections, punctuation nits.
 1.34  09-Mar-2008  dholland Grammar fix and clarification from PR 37727 by Randolf Richardson.

 1.33  07-Aug-2003  agc branches: 1.33.6; 1.33.16; 1.33.18; 1.33.22; 1.33.26; 1.33.28;
Move UCB-licensed code from 4-clause to 3-clause licence.

Patches provided by Joel Baker in PR 22249, verified by myself.
 1.32  25-Feb-2003  wiz .Nm does not need a dummy argument ("") before punctuation or
for correct formatting of the SYNOPSIS any longer.
 1.31  04-Feb-2003  perry "Utilize" has exactly the same meaning as "use," but it is more
difficult to read and understand. Most manuals of English style
therefore say that you should use "use".
 1.30  25-Sep-2002  wiz New policy: New sentences start on a new line.
Patches by Robert Elz <kre at munnari oz au>, with minimal changes by me.
 1.29  13-Aug-2002  wiz Drop trailing whitespace.
 1.28  13-Aug-2002  sommerfeld Improve some of the description of optional drive features.
 1.27  20-Dec-2001  wiz Whitespace nits.
 1.26  03-Feb-2001  mason Clarify meaning of "mt asf". The man page extant says "Absolute space
to file count", which is incorrect. File numbering, according to
restore(8), starts at one, and thus "mt asf 1" neither moves to the
first file on the tape nor to file number one on the tape.
 1.25  04-Sep-2000  kleink For commands and utilities, use EXIT STATUS rather than RETURN VALUES as
appropriate (and documented in mdoc(7)).
 1.24  28-Aug-2000  hubertf Add 'RETURN VALUE' section header.
 1.23  02-Feb-2000  mjacob branches: 1.23.4;
Fix a buglet in the man page: eom spaces to the end of recorded media-
not the 'end of the media'.
 1.22  30-Sep-1999  soren Add list of common density codes.
The remote function was implemented in 1996.
 1.21  21-Jul-1999  tron branches: 1.21.2;
Add "setblk" as alias for "blocksize" and "setdensity" as alias for
"density". This makes life easier for people which use NetBSD and Linux.
 1.20  22-Mar-1999  garbled More and more .Os cleanups. .Os is defined in the tmac.doc-common file,
so we shouldn't override it with versions in the manpages. Many more to
come.
 1.19  14-Jan-1999  fair mtio.4 no longer missing
 1.18  30-Jul-1998  mjacob rev man page for eew
 1.17  27-Jul-1998  msaitoh Add missing ".El"
 1.16  04-Jul-1998  mjacob adjust document to reality
 1.15  03-Jul-1998  fair PR#5696 + nroff fixes and text clarity
 1.14  20-Oct-1997  enami Fix .Nm usage.
 1.13  04-Oct-1997  hannken Code cleanup. All commands are run from the table.
`compression' command added to man page.
Default tape in man page adjusted. Closes PR #4212.
 1.12  03-Oct-1997  mikel update location of scsi_tape.h and fix set[hl]pos descriptions, from
Dave Huang in PR bin/4202. some more misc. cleanup of my own.
 1.11  29-Sep-1997  mjacob Add support for enabling/disabling compression, as well as reporting and
seeking to logical and hardware block locations.
 1.10  01-Jul-1997  hannken Allow a count of zero for the following commands:
blocksize density eom erase offline rewind rewoffl status retension
This makes it possible to set the default density or to set variable
blocksize. See PR #3256.
 1.9  08-Aug-1996  jtc Add the asf command for absolute tape positioning.

Some cleanup of the remote tape interface, but a lot more is needed.
Ideally, we'd have a "rmt" library which provides a remote tape API
including open, read, write, close, and ioctl. This is useful not
only for mt, but also for programs like tar, cpio, pax, backup and
restore.
 1.8  21-May-1996  mrg add blocksize/density commands. other part of #921 (Olaf Seibert <rhialto@polder.ubc.kun.nl>)
 1.7  05-Mar-1996  scottr Add remote tape capabilities.
 1.6  22-Aug-1995  jtc Change default magtape from /dev/rmt12 to /dev/rst0; PR #1399
 1.5  25-Jul-1995  jtc Use "utility" instead of "command". Modern definitions of these terms
are distinct (See POSIX.2 glossary).

A utility is a executable, script or shell builtin; while a command
can be any of those things plus lists, pipelines, compound commands
(if, for, while) and shell function definitions.
 1.4  21-Mar-1995  cgd merge with lite
 1.3  16-Oct-1994  andrew Added mention of the retension, erase and eom options.
 1.2  01-Aug-1993  mycroft Add RCS indentifiers.
 1.1  25-Mar-1993  cgd branches: 1.1.1;
added mt from net-2 sources, with added rcs header.
note that it's in /bin rather than /usr/bin. wouldn't want to be
screwed trying to restore a backup...
 1.1.1.1  21-Mar-1995  cgd from Lite's src/usr.bin/mt
 1.21.2.1  27-Dec-1999  wrstuden Pull up to last week's -current.
 1.23.4.1  28-Aug-2000  hubertf Pull up to netbsd-1-5 branch, OK'd by thorpej:
