TAPE_SET_POSITION

The TAPE_SET_POSITION structure describes how and where to position the tape.

typedef struct _TAPE_SET_POSITION { // tspos

ULONG Method;

ULONG Partition;

ULONG OffsetLow;

ULONG OffsetHigh;

} TAPE_SET_POSITION;

Members

Method

Specifies the type of positioning. This member must be one of the following values:

Value
Description
TAPE_ABSOLUTE_BLOCK
Moves the tape to the device-specific block address specified by the OffsetLow and OffsetHigh members. The Partition member is ignored.
TAPE_LOGICAL_BLOCK
Moves the tape to the block address specified by OffsetLow and OffsetHigh in the partition specified by Partition.
TAPE_REWIND
Moves the tape to the beginning of the current partition. The Partition, OffsetLow, and OffsetHigh members are ignored.
TAPE_SPACE_END_OF_DATA
Moves the tape to the end of the data on the partition specified by Partition.
TAPE_SPACE_FILEMARKS
Moves the tape forward (or backward) the number of filemarks specified by OffsetLow and OffsetHigh in the current partition. The Partition member is ignored.
TAPE_SPACE_RELATIVE_BLOCKS
Moves the tape forward (or backward) the number of blocks specified by OffsetLow and OffsetHigh in the current partition. The Partition member is ignored.
TAPE_SPACE_SEQUENTIAL_FMKS
Moves the tape forward (or backward) to the first occurrence of n filemarks in the current partition, where n is the number specified by OffsetLow and OffsetHigh. The Partition parameter is ignored.
TAPE_SPACE_SEQUENTIAL_SMKS
Moves the tape forward (or backward) to the first occurrence of n setmarks in the current partition, where n is the number specified by OffsetLow and OffsetHigh. The Partition member is ignored.
TAPE_SPACE_SETMARKS
Moves the tape forward (or backward) the number of setmarks specified by OffsetLow and OffsetHigh in the current partition. The Partition member is ignored.

Partition

Specifies the partition to position within. If this member is zero, the current partition is assumed.

OffsetLow

Specifies the low-order 32 bits of the block address or count for the position operation specified by the Method member.

OffsetHigh

Specifies the high-order 32 bits of the block address or count for the position operation specified by the Method member. If the high-order 32 bits are not required, this member should be zero.

Remarks

If the positioning is relative, a positive offset moves the tape forward (toward the end of the tape) and a negative offset moves the tape backward (toward the beginning of the tape).

Nostalgia .Net     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 »
