_TAPE_ERASE structure (minitape.h)

Description

The TAPE_ERASE structure is used in conjunction with the IOCTL_TAPE_ERASE request to erase the current tape partition.

Members

Type

Indicates the type of erasure to perform. When this member is set to TAPE_ERASE_LONG, the tape partition is overwritten with a filler pattern. When it is set to TAPE_ERASE_SHORT, an end-of-recorded-data mark is written to the current position.

Immediate

Indicates that the target device should return status immediately, when set to TRUE. When this member is set to FALSE, the device should return status after the operation is complete.
