Rewind (01h) 3
The REWIND command directs the tape drive to position the tape at the 
beginning of the currently active partition (for DLT drives, this is BOM). 
Before rewinding, the tape drive writes any write data that is in the buffer 
to the tape medium and appends an End of Data marker.

Field Name Description
Immed Immediate. If this bit is set to 1, the tape drive first 
writes any remaining buffered data to tape medium 
and adds an EOD marker. It then returns status to 
the host before beginning the actual rewind 
operation. If this bit is 0, status will be sent after the 
rewind has completed.
Tech Tip: The immed bit is accepted, but ignored in 
processing.
