       libsji - Standard Jukebox Interface (SJI) Library

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       The  Standard  Jukebox  Interface (SJI) is a public set of
       interfaces that NetWorker uses to communicate  with  Juke-
       boxes.   Generally the function of this library is to con-
       vert SJI commands (as formed by NetWorker) to  the  appro-
       priate SCSI commands (since most changers are SCSI based),
       but the underlying attachment to the Jukebox is irrelevant
       to the functioning of this interface.

       There are three entry points into this library:

       vvooiidd ** ssjjii__ooppeenn (( cchhaarr ** ddeevvnnaammee ))
              This  opens  a  channel to an SJI compliant Jukebox
              (named _d_e_v_n_a_m_e).  A channel token (of type  vvooiidd  **
              is  returned  if successful, else NULL.  The device
              name _d_e_v_a_m_e can be  of  ordinal  SCSI  type  (e.g.,
              _s_c_s_i_d_e_v_@_b_._t_._l_,  where  _b  is logical scsi bus, _t is
              SCSI target, and _l is SCSI lun on that target.  The
              device  name  can also be a platform specific style
              device name (e.g.  _/_d_e_v_/_s_j_i_d_1_u_1_)  for  those  plat-
              forms that do not use Legato device drivers.

       iinntt ssjjii__ccmmdd (( vvooiidd **ttookkeenn,, iinntt ccmmdd,, vvooiidd **aarrgg ))
              This  sends  an SJI command to the device opened by
              ssjjii__ooppeenn.

       vvooiidd ssjjii__cclloossee (( vvooiidd **ttookkeenn ))
              This closes a channel to the device opened  by  the
              call to ssjjii__ooppeenn.

       The  list and usage for available commands and their argu-
       ments used are too large to list  here.   Send  electronic
       mail  to  _s_j_i_@_l_e_g_a_t_o_._c_o_m  to  request  more information on
       these interfaces.

FFIILLEESS
       The location of the SJI library varies  from  platform  to
       platform.
