DESCRIPTION
       The  cdi_tur  program  sends  a	test unit ready SCSI command to a tape
       device.	The cdi_tur program also returns the status of the named  SCSI

	      to to perform the operation.  If the -t option is not specified,
	      the default method is to use the OS tape driver SCSI passthrough
	      functions.  Please refer to the libcdi (8) manpage for the  com‐
	      plete  list of access methods currently supported by the cdi_tur
	      program.

	      version number of the CDI library used by the program.

     % cdi_tur -f /dev/rmt/2cbn
     CDI_TUR successful.

	 status = 0, DRIVE_STATUS_READY
	 msg = The tape drive is ready for use
