ACL Application Programmer’s Guide acl_getparam_library
%v_req_barcod 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 Barcode Required Enable configuration parameter is
set to on, the ACL will not accept a tape cartridge that does not
have a readable barcode ID; i.e., the ACL will not transfer the
cartridge to a drive (2XX, 4XX) or from an IMEX bin (8XX).
When the parameter is set to off, the ACL accepts all tape
cartridges without regard to barcode ID.
Writer_Note: Bug RWCra 01712 erroneously states “‘%v_auto_import’ is not supported”.
%auto_import Prints the current setting of the Auto Import Enable
%v_auto_import configuration parameter (8XX):
1 or Enabled indicates that the parameter is set to on.
0 or Disabled indicates that the parameter is set to off.
The ACL detects the presence of a tape cartridge when it is
inserted into an IMEX bin. When the Auto Import Enable
configuration parameter is set to on, the ACL automatically
transfers the cartridge to the next available storage bin.
When the Auto Import Enable configuration parameter is set to
off, this functionality is suppressed and the initiator must use the
acl_move_tape or acl_move_volume utility to transfer the tape
cartridge to a storage bin (or tape drive).
ENVIRONMENT

options always override any environment variables.
$ACL_DEV
Specifies the device special file to use when you omit the -device option.
$RETRY_ON_RESET
Specifies that the ACL management utilities perform one retry automatically when a failure is
caused by a SCSI Bus Device Reset of the ACL. When $RETRY_ON_RESET is not set, an
ACL management utility will perform a retry automatically only if the -retry_on_reset option
is specified on the command line.
EXIT STATUS
The ACL management utilities use the following exit status codes:
