4.4.2 Dismount Media Message:

The Dismount Media Message is used to notify the requester that Dismount Media

Command successfully completed or that an error occurred causing the command to

fail. With a Dismount Command, it will return the drive position the tape label was

moved from (0-9 bottom to top) and the slot position the tape label was moved to. A

–1 (a 255 will be in both bytes) means that no change occurred. The first byte of the

label field will have an Y, which stands for dismount update. The structure of the

Dismount Media Message, its arguments and an example are listed in Table 4-9.
