The Ftape Tools Manual - Vtblc
vtblc is a small utility that lets you modify the volume table
segment of a floppy tape cartridge. vtblc requires ftape-3.04d (and later versions)
It uses the MTIOCRDFTSEG
and MTIOCWRFTSEG
ioctls provided
by the ftape floppy tape driver (See Accessing arbitrary floppy tape segments (info file ftape-4))
vtblc is used as a backend by the ftape-tool (see Ftape-tool) GUI front-end.
Please be very careful when using this program. Improper use can damage the volume table information of your floppy tape cartridges
If you simply run vtblc with no arguments, however, it will simply
print the contents of the volume table segment of the cartridge of the
tape drive corresponding to `/dev/nrawft0
' to STDOUT.
