This is a main configuration file for Tape Dispatcher. It is pretty simple and straightforward, and these are the rules:

• Empty lines, or lines that start with "#" are ignored.
• Line that starts with any non-blank character is considered a new command line.
• First blank-separated field on a command line is a keyword.
• All lines between two command lines belong to a first of them.
• There are only three supported keywords, all others are ignored:

  1. PORT - used to describe the TCP port for communication; if not present, it defaults to 7800:
     "PORT number"
  2. DRIVE - used to describe a single drive:
     "DRIVE type library driveid [host physicaldevice]+ "
  3. TAPE - used to describe some group of tapes:
     "TAPE type library VID+ [or range VIDx-VIDy]+ "
