8.5.1.5: MTBSR

Backward space over count tape blocks (block-size is set via `MTSETBLK', see MTSETBLK).

zftape emulates blocks of a constant length, that is, `MTFSR' and `MTBSR' don't skip floppy tape segments but blocks of a virtual size between 1 kilobyte and 62 kilobytes depending on what was specified with `MTSETBLK' (see MTSETBLK).

Please note the following

`MTBSR' was unimplemented for ftape-2.x resp. sftape.

Example
count set to `5', i.e. skip backwards over 5 tape blocks with zftape:

mt -f /dev/nqft0 bsr 5
