1) Header file which contains base class chapi_tape_device_iface for all CHAPI tape

controllers (also chapi_tsv05.dll) that can work with CHAPI tape transports based on

class chapi_tape_transport_iface - chapi_tape_device_iface.h;

2) Header file which contains base class chapi_disk_device_iface for all CHAPI disk

drive controllers (also chapi_rlv12.dll) that can work with CHAPI disk drive based on

class chapi_disk_drive_iface - chapi_disk_device_iface.h;

3) Header file which contains base class chapi_tape_transport_iface for all CHAPI tape

transports (also chapi_storage.dll) that can work with CHAPI tape controllers based on

5.3.2 Library description

The main goal for tape I/O is to describe methods for CHAPI tape controllers and CHAPI

tape transports, so all CHAPI tape controllers can work with all CHAPI tape transports.

Also, the main goal for disk I/O is to describe methods for CHAPI disk controllers and

CHAPI disk drives, so all CHAPI disk controllers can work with all CHAPI disk drives.

Definitions of standard CHAPI interface (like read(…), write(…) …) will be skipped.

CHAPI tape controller’s methods

CHAPI tape controller’s methods described in class chapi_tape_device_iface, so all CHAPI

tape controllers’ classes must be derived from the class chapi_tape_device_iface.
