STIOC_WRITE_ATTRIBUTE

Following is the structure for STIOC_WRITE_ATTRIBURE IOCTL

struct write_attribute
{
  uchar write_cache;       /* [IN] WTC - Write-through cache */
  uchar partition_number;  /* [IN] the partition which the attribute is belonged to */
  uint parm_list_len;      /* [IN] parameter list length */
  uchar reserved[10];
  char data[MAX_ATTR_LEN];   /* [IN] write attributes data */
} ;

An example of the STIOC_WRITE_ATTRIBUTE command is

#include <sys/Atape.h>


int rc;
struct write_attribute wr_attr;

memset(&wr_attr,0,sizeof(struct write_attribute)); 

wr_attr.write_cache=0; 
wr_attr.parm_list_len=0x11; 
wr_attr.data[3]=0x0D; 
wr_attr.data[4]=0x08; 
wr_attr.data[6]=0x01; 
wr_attr.data[8]=0x08; 
wr_attr.data[9]='I'; 
wr_attr.data[10]='B'; 
wr_attr.data[11]='M'; 
wr_attr.data[12]=' '; 
wr_attr.data[13]='T'; 
wr_attr.data[14]='E'; 
wr_attr.data[15]='S'; 
wr_attr.data[16]='T'; 

printf("Issuing a sample Write Attribute command ....\n\n"); 
rc=ioctl(fd, STIOC_WRITE_ATTRIBUTE, &wr_attr); 

if (rc)
 printf ("Write Attribute failed (rc %d)",rc); 
else
 printf ("Write Attribute Succeeds");
