Syntax

eeadm tape list [OPTIONS]

Optional parameter

-l, --library <library>: Specifies the name of the tape library where the tapes are managed. In a single tape library configuration, this option can be omitted.
--no-header: Suppress the header line.

Display options

--unit <prefix_type>: Outputs the capacity with the decimal unit prefix type (ex. 1 GB = 1000 MB) or the binary unit prefix type (1 GiB = 1024 MiB). The capacity is shown with decimal unit prefix if this option is not specified. The valid <prefix_type> value is either decimal or binary. This option is not available when the --json or --jsonpp options are specified.

Common options

-h, --help: Shows this help text and exit.
