6.2.2: Listtape Options

-f, --file FILE

Tape device to use. Default is `/dev/tape'. listtape uses the environment variable TAPE if it is set. In case FILE or the environment variable TAPE start with `/dev/', then listtape checks whether it is indeed a non-rewinding device and converts the name if necessary, i.e --file /dev/qft0 would be converted to `/dev/nqft0' as listtape really needs the non-rewinding tape device. Otherwise it would produce an infinite loop.
