The -stdout <output_spec> argument supports the keywords listed below. Some ﬁelds can

print in verbose or non-verbose style, depending on the keyword speciﬁed. Non-verbose style

(%keyword) prints only the returned value; verbose style (%v_keyword) 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.

%blksize Data block size in bytes. The block size does not include the

two-byte checksum, if any.

%dbglevel Bit mask or string representing the current tape device driver debug

%v_dbglevel level. Zero unless tape device driver debug messages have been

enabled; see the dd2_setparam_drive manual page for additional

details.
