Slackware 14.2slackware-14.2

Thu Jun 30 20:26:57 UTC 2016
Slackware 14.2 x86_64 stable is released!

The long development cycle (the Linux community has lately been living in
"interesting times", as they say) is finally behind us, and we're proud to
announce the release of Slackware 14.2.  The new release brings many updates
and modern tools, has switched from udev to eudev (no systemd), and adds
well over a hundred new packages to the system.  Thanks to the team, the
upstream developers, the dedicated Slackware community, and everyone else
who pitched in to help make this release a reality.

The ISOs are off to be replicated, a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided
32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD.  Please consider supporting the Slackware
project by picking up a copy from store.slackware.com.  We're taking
pre-orders now, and offer a discount if you sign up for a subscription.

Have fun!  :-)

-.Sh NAME
-.Nm rmt
-.Nd remote magtape protocol module
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Nm rmt
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-.Nm Rmt
-is a program used by the remote dump and restore programs
-in manipulating a magnetic tape drive through an interprocess
-communication connection.
-.Nm Rmt
-is normally started up with an
-.Xr rexec 3
-or
-.Xr rcmd 3
-call.
-.Pp
-The 
-.Nm rmt
-program accepts requests specific to the manipulation of
-magnetic tapes, performs the commands, then responds with
-a status indication.  All responses are in
-.Tn ASCII
-and in
-one of two forms. 
-Successful commands have responses of:
-.Bd -filled -offset indent
-.Sm off
-.Sy A Ar number No \en
-.Sm on
-.Ed
-.Pp
-.Ar Number
-is an
-.Tn ASCII
-representation of a decimal number.
-Unsuccessful commands are responded to with:
-.Bd -filled -offset indent
-.Sm off
-.Xo Sy E Ar error-number
-.No \en Ar error-message
-.No \en
-.Xc
-.Sm on
-.Ed
-.Pp
-.Ar Error-number
-is one of the possible error
-numbers described in
-.Xr intro 2
-and
-.Ar error-message
-is the corresponding error string as printed
-from a call to
-.Xr perror 3 .
-The protocol is comprised of the
-following commands, which are sent as indicated - no spaces are supplied
-between the command and its arguments, or between its arguments, and
-.Ql \en
-indicates that a newline should be supplied:
-.Bl -tag -width Ds
-.Sm off
-.It Xo Sy \&O Ar device
-.No \en Ar mode No \en
-.Xc
-Open the specified 
-.Ar device
-using the indicated
-.Ar mode .
-.Ar Device
-is a full pathname and
-.Ar mode
-is an
-.Tn ASCII
-representation of a decimal
-number suitable for passing to
-.Xr open 2 .
-If a device had already been opened, it is
-closed before a new open is performed.
-.It Xo Sy C Ar device No \en
-.Xc
-Close the currently open device.  The
-.Ar device
-specified is ignored.
-.It Xo Sy L
-.Ar whence No \en
-.Ar offset No \en
-.Xc
-.Sm on
-Perform an
-.Xr lseek 2
-operation using the specified parameters.
-The response value is that returned from the
-.Xr lseek
-call.
-.Sm off
-.It Sy W Ar count No \en
-.Sm on
-Write data onto the open device.
-.Nm Rmt
-reads
-.Ar count
-bytes from the connection, aborting if
-a premature end-of-file is encountered.
-The response value is that returned from
-the
-.Xr write 2
-call.
-.Sm off
-.It Sy R Ar count No \en
-.Sm on
-Read
-.Ar count
-bytes of data from the open device.
-If
-.Ar count
-exceeds the size of the data buffer (10 kilobytes), it is
-truncated to the data buffer size.
-.Nm rmt
-then performs the requested 
-.Xr read 2
-and responds with 
-.Sm off
-.Sy A Ar count-read No \en
-.Sm on
-if the read was
-successful; otherwise an error in the
-standard format is returned.  If the read
-was successful, the data read is then sent.
-.Sm off
-.It Xo Sy I Ar operation
-.No \en Ar count No \en
-.Xc
-.Sm on
-Perform a
-.Dv MTIOCOP
-.Xr ioctl 2
-command using the specified parameters.
-The parameters are interpreted as the
-.Tn ASCII
-representations of the decimal values
-to place in the 
-.Ar mt_op
-and
-.Ar mt_count
-fields of the structure used in the
-.Xr ioctl
-call.  The return value is the
-.Ar count
-parameter when the operation is successful.
-.It Sy S
-Return the status of the open device, as
-obtained with a
-.Dv MTIOCGET
-.Xr ioctl
-call.  If the operation was successful,
-an ``ack'' is sent with the size of the
-status buffer, then the status buffer is
-sent (in binary).
-.El
-.Sm on
-.Pp
-Any other command causes 
-.Nm rmt
-to exit.
-.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
-All responses are of the form described above.
-.Sh SEE ALSO
-.Xr rcmd 3 ,
-.Xr rexec 3 ,
-.Xr mtio 4 ,
-.Xr rdump 8 ,
-.Xr rrestore 8
-.Sh BUGS
-People tempted to use this for a remote file access protocol
-are discouraged.
-.Sh HISTORY
-The
-.Nm
-command appeared in
-.Bx 4.2 .

-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.LP
-This manual page documents the GNU version of
-.B tar
-, an archiving program designed to store and extract files from 
-an archive file known as a 
-.IR tarfile.
-A 
-.IR tarfile 
-may be made on a tape drive, however, it is also common
-to write a
-.IR tarfile
-to a normal file. 
-The first argument to 
-.B tar
-must be one of the options:
-.BR Acdrtux ,
-followed by any optional functions.
-The final arguments to 
-.B tar
-are the names of the files or directories which should be archived. The use
-of a directory name always implies that the subdirectories below should be
-included in the archive.

-.B tar -xvvf foo.tar

-.SH BUGS
-.LP
-The GNU folks, in general, abhor man pages, and create info documents instead.
-The maintainer of tar falls into this category.  This man page is neither
-complete, nor current, and was included in the Debian Linux packaging of tar
-entirely to reduce the frequency with which the lack of a man page gets
-reported as a bug in our defect tracking system.
-
-If you really want to understand tar, then you should run info and read the
-tar info pages, or use the info mode in emacs.
