+.Nd FreeBSD magtape interface
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The special files
+named
+.Pa /dev/[n]sa*
+refer to SCSI tape drives,
+which may be attached to the system.
+.Pa /dev/[n]sa*.ctl
+are control devices that can be used to issue ioctls to the SCSI
+tape driver to set parameters that are required to last beyond the
+unmounting of a tape.
+.Pp
+The rewind devices automatically rewind
+when the last requested read, write or seek has finished, or the end of the tape
+has been reached.
+The letter
+.Ql n
+is usually prepended to
+the name of the no-rewind devices.
+.Pp
+Tapes can be written with either fixed length records or variable length
+records.
+See
+.Xr sa 4
+for more information.
+Two end-of-file markers mark the end of a tape, and
+one end-of-file marker marks the end of a tape file.
+If the tape is not to be rewound it is positioned with the
+head in between the two tape marks, where the next write
+will over write the second end-of-file marker.
+.Pp
+All of the magtape devices may be manipulated with the
+.Xr mt 1
+command.
+.Pp
+A number of
+.Xr ioctl 2
+operations are available
+on raw magnetic tape.
+The following definitions are from
