acl_getparam_library ACL Application Programmer’s Guide

Writer_Note: Please verify that this utility supports verbose keywords and, if so, that the syntax is

correct. I added the %v_* keywords to support the original -stdout description, and

changed %req_barcod to %barcode_enable as speciﬁed in Bug RWCra01713.

-stdout <

output_spec>

Speciﬁes the output ﬁelds written to stdout. You must provide a -stdout <output_spec>

argument for this utility (except when using the -help argument).

The -stdout option supports the keywords listed below. Each ﬁeld can print in verbose or

non-verbose style, depending on the keyword speciﬁed. Non-verbose style prints only the

returned value; verbose style replaces the returned value with a descriptive string. If the data

for a particular keyword is not available

, na prints instead of the value (or string) for that

keyword.

Writer_Note: Auto Eject was changed to Auto Store Enable in the ACL SCSI ID.

%auto_eject Prints the current setting of the Auto Store Enable

%v_auto_eject conﬁguration parameter:

1 or Enabled indicates that the parameter is set to on.

0 or Disabled Indicates that the parameter is set to off.

When the Auto Store Enable conﬁguration parameter is set to

off, the initiator must use the acl_move_tape or

acl_move_volume utility to remove a tape cartridge from the

tape drive (after the drive ejects the tape cartridge in response to

a tape drive Unload command).

When the Auto Store Enable conﬁguration parameter is set to

on, the ACL automatically returns any tape cartridge ejected by

the tape drive to the location from which it was loaded (or, if this

is unknown, to an empty storage bin).

%auto_audit_override Prints the current setting of the Auto Audit Override

%v_auto_audit_override conﬁguration parameter:

1 or Enabled indicates that the parameter is set to on.

0 or Disabled Indicates that the parameter is set to off.

The ACL has an internal database which it keeps up to date.

When powered on with a tape cartridge in the drive, however,

the ACL cannot read the barcode ID of that cartridge until it is

unloaded from the drive.

When the Auto Audit Override conﬁguration parameter is set to

off, the ACL automatically executes a barcode read when it does

not have a barcode ID stored for the tape cartridge it unloads

from the drive. When the Auto Audit Override parameter is set

to on, this functionality is suppressed.

%req_barcod Prints the current setting of the Barcode Required Enable
