NAME
     strtape - convert string to tape device pathname

SYNOPSIS
     char* strtape(char* s, char** e)

DESCRIPTION
     strtape converts the generic tape  device  specification  in
     the nul-terminated string s to a local tape device pathname.
     A pointer to the device pathname is returned.  If  e  not  0
     then  *e is set to point to the first unrecognized character
     in s.

     A tape device specification  is  composed  of  unit-density-
     rewind.   All  are  optional.   unit is a unit number in the
     range [0-7].  The default unit is 1.  Density may be one of:

     l  for low;

     m  for medium, and

     h  for high.

     The default is m.  rewind  is  n  for  no-rewind  on  device
     close.  The default is to rewind on device close.

CAVEATS

     on each call.
