ok, so here is the source for st(1)
it got left out of the 2.0 distribution by mistake..
I notice that someone carefully removed all references to the fact
that I wrote much of these files, and that they were based on 'mt(1)'
program.. in this regard the hefty UC copyright notices give only part
of the story.. they will eventually merge with mt again..
i.e. mt(1) will act like st(1) when acting on a scsi device.. but not yet.

X.Sh NAME
X.Nm st
X.Nd magnetic tape manipulating program
X.Sh SYNOPSIS
X.Nm st
X.Op Fl f Ar tapename
X.Ar command
X.Op Ar count
X.Sh DESCRIPTION
X.Nm St
Xis used to give commands to a magnetic tape drive.
XBy default
X.Nm st
Xperforms the requested operation once. Operations
Xmay be performed multiple times by specifying
X.Ar count .
XNote
Xthat
X.Ar tapename
Xmust reference a raw (not block) tape device.
X.Pp
XThe tape drive will hold density and blocking parameters until the next
Xunmount. In the case of rst0, this is immediately and is therefore of
Xnot much use with this device. In the case of nrst0 this
Xmay be after several commands when either an offline command is issued or
Xrst0 is openned and closed. If parameters are to be held across
Xunmounts, then they should be made to the control device for each
Xmode.. i.e. the devices with a submode of 3 (minors 3,7,11,15 for example).
XIt is suggested that the operator keep the control device unreadble
Xand unwritable to normal system users, while giving them access to
Xthe non-rewind device (e.g. nrst0) on demand.
X.Pp
XThe available commands are listed below. Only as many
Xcharacters as are required to uniquely identify a command
Xneed be specified.
X.Bl -tag -width "eof, weof"
X.It Cm eof , weof
XWrite
X.Ar count
Xend-of-file marks at the current position on the tape.
X.It Cm fsf
XForward space
X.Ar count
Xfiles.
X.It Cm fsr
XForward space
X.Ar count
Xrecords.
X.It Cm bsf
XBack space
X.Ar count
Xfiles.
X.It Cm bsr
XBack space
X.Ar count
Xrecords.
X.It Cm rewind
XRewind the tape
X(Count is ignored).
X.It Cm offline , rewoffl
XRewind the tape and place the tape unit off-line (possibly eject)
X(Count is ignored).
X.It Cm blocksize
XSets the block size characteristics of the openned
Xdevice to value specified in
X.Ar count.
XA 0 means variable sized blocks, and anything else means fixed block,
Xwith blocksize as that of
X.Ar count.
X.It Cm density
XSet the density for the openned device (bits 2,3 of minor number)
X.Ar count
Xdensity code as specified by the SCSI II specification. Valid values
Xare from 0 to 0x17.
X.It The different density codes are as follows:
X0x0 default for device

X0xE reserved for ECMA
