Perhaps I've come in the middle here, but typically you simply issue a read(2) system call with as large a block size as you're willing or able to accomodate. The byte count returned is the size of the tape block which was actually read. This sort of scheme works even if every block within a tape file is a different block size. louie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
