NAME
ch —
SCSI media changer driver
SYNOPSIS
ch* at scsibus? target ? lun ?
DESCRIPTION
The
ch driver is essentially an
ioctl(2) interface to a robot on
a SCSI bus - a device that will change media (e.g. tapes, CD-ROMs, etc) in and
out of drives for that media. The
chio(1) utility program uses this
interface to manipulate such robots.
