Move UCB-licensed code from 4-clause to 3-clause licence.

Patches provided by Joel Baker in PR 22249, verified by myself.


# 1.32 25-Feb-2003 wiz

.Nm does not need a dummy argument ("") before punctuation or
for correct formatting of the SYNOPSIS any longer.


# 1.31 04-Feb-2003 perry

"Utilize" has exactly the same meaning as "use," but it is more
difficult to read and understand. Most manuals of English style
therefore say that you should use "use".


Revision tags: fvdl_fs64_base
# 1.30 25-Sep-2002 wiz

New policy: New sentences start on a new line.
Patches by Robert Elz <kre at munnari oz au>, with minimal changes by me.


# 1.29 13-Aug-2002 wiz

Drop trailing whitespace.


# 1.28 13-Aug-2002 sommerfeld

# 1.27 20-Dec-2001 wiz

Whitespace nits.


# 1.26 03-Feb-2001 mason

Clarify meaning of "mt asf". The man page extant says "Absolute space
to file count", which is incorrect. File numbering, according to
restore(8), starts at one, and thus "mt asf 1" neither moves to the
first file on the tape nor to file number one on the tape.


# 1.25 04-Sep-2000 kleink

For commands and utilities, use EXIT STATUS rather than RETURN VALUES as
appropriate (and documented in mdoc(7)).


# 1.24 28-Aug-2000 hubertf

Add 'RETURN VALUE' section header.

Add "setblk" as alias for "blocksize" and "setdensity" as alias for

# 1.20 22-Mar-1999 garbled

More and more .Os cleanups. .Os is defined in the tmac.doc-common file,
so we shouldn't override it with versions in the manpages. Many more to
come.

# 1.13 04-Oct-1997 hannken

Code cleanup. All commands are run from the table.
`compression' command added to man page.
Default tape in man page adjusted. Closes PR #4212.


# 1.12 03-Oct-1997 mikel

update location of scsi_tape.h and fix set[hl]pos descriptions, from
Dave Huang in PR bin/4202. some more misc. cleanup of my own.


# 1.11 29-Sep-1997 mjacob

Add support for enabling/disabling compression, as well as reporting and
seeking to logical and hardware block locations.


# 1.10 01-Jul-1997 hannken

Allow a count of zero for the following commands:
blocksize density eom erase offline rewind rewoffl status retension
This makes it possible to set the default density or to set variable
blocksize. See PR #3256.


# 1.9 08-Aug-1996 jtc

Add the asf command for absolute tape positioning.

Some cleanup of the remote tape interface, but a lot more is needed.
Ideally, we'd have a "rmt" library which provides a remote tape API
including open, read, write, close, and ioctl. This is useful not
only for mt, but also for programs like tar, cpio, pax, backup and
restore.

# 1.6 22-Aug-1995 jtc

Change default magtape from /dev/rmt12 to /dev/rst0; PR #1399


# 1.5 25-Jul-1995 jtc

Use "utility" instead of "command". Modern definitions of these terms
are distinct (See POSIX.2 glossary).

A utility is a executable, script or shell builtin; while a command
can be any of those things plus lists, pipelines, compound commands
(if, for, while) and shell function definitions.
