Writing a file mark to tape...

[rvstout]

After tarring or copying a file to tape, how would I write
a file mark to the tape? (Just to insure that the system
knows where the eof is).

 

[Chapter11]

I've never known anyone to need to do this. The tape drive handles writing EOF/EOT markers on its own.

tctl eof 1
