SetTapeParameters
The SetTapeParameters function either specifies the block size of a tape or configures the tape
device.
DWORD SetTapeParameters(
HANDLE hDevice,
| // handle of open device
| DWORD dwOperation,
| // type of information to set
| LPVOID lpTapeInformation
| // address of buffer with information to set
| );
|
|
Parameters
hDevice
Identifies the device for which to set configuration information. This handle
is created by using the CreateFile function.
dwOperation
Specifies the type of information to set. This parameter must be one of the
following values:
Value
| Description
| SET_TAPE_MEDIA_INFORMATION
| Sets the tape-specific information specified by the lpTapeInformation parameter.
| GET_TAPE_DRIVE_INFORMATION
| Sets the device-specific information specified by lpTapeInformation.
|
lpTapeInformation
Points to a structure that contains the information to set. If the dwOperation parameter is SET_TAPE_MEDIA_INFORMATION, lpTapeInformation points to a TAPE_SET_MEDIA_PARAMETERS structure.
If dwOperation is SET_TAPE_DRIVE_INFORMATION, lpTapeInformation points to a TAPE_SET_DRIVE_PARAMETERS structure.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
