The Ftape Installation Guide - Compiling ftape
This option is disabled by default. Please refer to the file
BUGS to get to know why.
If you enable this feature then a file `ftape
' in the root
directory of the `proc
' file system is created (i.e. normally there
will be an entry `/proc/ftape
' if you didn't mount the proc file
system somewhere else than under `/proc/
').
You can view this file with your favorite pager (i.e. with more
or less
) or just copy its contents to the terminal window with
`cat /proc/ftape
'. Sample output of `cat /proc/ftape
' command
is shown below:
