+# MTCLEAN -- Clean the magtape .lok file area, i.e., delete any old .lok files.
+# These files no longer serve any device locking purpose, rather, they are
+# used by the magtape system to store knowledge of the tape position when
+# the drive is not being accessed. The mtclean task is called during CL
+# startup to delete any old .lok files to keep these from being erroneously
+# used to indicate the tape position. In normal use the .lok files are
+# created when a tape is allocated and deleted when the tape is deallocated,
+# but the files can be left behind if the CL is killed without doing a
+# deallocate.
