11 Arguments:
12 input_spec
13 can be either the -input_volume or -input_file control argument, or
14 a reel identification number of the tape to be listed. The reel
15 identification number, which is site dependent, can be up to 32
16 characters long.
17 names
18 are names of segments to be listed. If you give no names, all the
19 segments on the tape are listed. The star convention is allowed.

22 Control arguments:
23 -input_volume volname, -ivol volname
24 gives the input tape volume name of the MST to be listed.
25 -input_file path, -if path
26 gives the pathname of a file containing an MST image to be listed.
27 This file must have been previously created by generate_mst or
28 copy_mst.
29 -density DEN, -den DEN
30 gives a tape density. DEN may be 800, 1600 or 6250. The input tape
31 is mounted on a tape drive capable of reading density DEN. However,
32 the actual density at which the input tape is written determines the
33 density used for reading. The default density is 1600 BPI bits per
34 inch.

37 Notes: A summary line, giving the length of each segment and its
38 primary name, is printed out for each segment listed. A special name
39 is printed out for segments written with the first_name keyword of the
40 generate_mst command because the proper name of such segments does not
41 appear on the tape. A diagnostic is issued if you provide names that
42 match no segments on the tape.
