DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       The  eerraassee program will send the SCSI ERASE command to the
       named device, using  the  LONG  erase  option  unless  the
       optional --ss argument is specified.

       The required --aa argument must be used to select a specific
       ordinal SCSI address (see _l_i_b_s_c_s_i(8)) for the device  that
       has the tape.

       The  optional  --rr  argument  sends a REWIND command to the
       named device prior to issuing an erase command.
