.help zzrwmt May84 "System Interface" .ih NAME zzrwmt -- rewind magtape .ih SYNOPSIS .nf zzrwmt (chan, status) int chan # OS channel of magtape int status .fi .ih DESCRIPTION A rewind of the magnetic tape opened on channel \fIchan\fR is initiated. .ih RETURN VALUE ERR is returned if the tape is offline or if \fIchan\fR is illegal. OK is returned if the operation is successful. .ih NOTES The rewind is not guaranteed to be asynchronous. There is no wait primitive for the rewind operation; it is assumed that the host driver or the kernel will automatically suspend any further tape motion commands issued before the rewind is completed. If the host system does not have the ability to asynchronously rewind a magtape then \fBzzrwmt\fR is equivalent to a call to \fBzzopmt\fR to open file 1 on a tape. .ih SEE ALSO zzopmt, zfiomt .endhelp
