=head1 DESCRIPTION
-The backup readlabel command displays information from the
-magnetic tape label of a tape. The information includes the tape's
-name (either a I<permanent name>, or an I<AFS tape name> that
-reflects the tape's contents in a prescribed format) and its
-capacity.
-
-If the FILE YES instruction appears in the
-B</usr/afs/backup/CFG_>I<device_name> file associated with the
-specified port offset, then the B<backup readlabel> command reads the
-label information from the first 16 KB block in the backup data file listed
-for that port offset in the Tape Coordinator's
-B</usr/afs/backup/tapeconfig> file, rather than from the beginning of
-a tape.
-
-The Tape Coordinator's default response to this command is to access
-the tape by invoking the B<MOUNT> instruction in the local
-B</usr/afs/backup/CFG_>I<device_name> file, or by prompting the
-backup operator to insert the tape if there is no B<MOUNT>
-instruction. However, if the B<AUTOQUERY NO> instruction
-appears in the B<CFG_>I<device_name> file, or if the issuer of
-the B<butc> command included the B<-noautoquery> flag, the
-Tape Coordinator instead expects the tape to be in the device already.
-If it is not, the Tape Coordinator invokes the B<MOUNT> instruction or
-prompts the operator.

If the tape is unlabeled or if the specified tape device is empty, the
output reads
Otherwise, the output in the shell window has the following format:
- Tape read was labelled: I<tape name> (I<dump id>)
- size: I<size> Kbytes
+ Tape read was labelled: <tape name> (<dump id>)
+ size: <size> Kbytes
-where I<tape name> is the permanent name if the tape has one, or the
-AFS tape name otherwise. The I<dump ID> is dump ID of the initial
-dump on the tape, and I<size> is the recorded capacity of the tape in
-kilobytes.
