.TH BACKUP-WHATSTHIS "1" "July 2003" "Debian" "Chiark-backup"
.SH NAME
backup-whatsthis \- read an id off a tape and display it
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B backup-whatsthis
.RB [\| --list
.RI [\| n \|]]
.br
.SH DESCRIPTION
`backup-whatsthis' is a simple script to display the TAPEID of the current
tape and optionally list its contents.  This script is a bit of a hack
and may not be fully reliable.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \--list
.RI [\| n \|]
Print TAPEID then list archive n (default 0). Note that archives are
numbered from zero.
.SH FILES
.TP
.I /etc/chiark-backup/settings.pl
Configuration file for the whole of chiark-backup
.P
.SH BUGS
`backup-whatsthis' is currently hardwired to assume `cpio' type backups
when listing; it could be trivially hardwired to assume `zafio' 
or with slightly more effort it could be done properly :->.
