The GetTapePosition function retrieves the current address of the tape, in logical or absolute blocks.
DWORD GetTapePosition(
HANDLE hDevice, |
// handle of open device |
DWORD dwPositionType, |
// type of address to obtain |
LPDWORD lpdwPartition, |
// address of current tape partition |
LPDWORD lpdwOffsetLow, |
// address of low-order 32 bits of tape position |
LPDWORD lpdwOffsetHigh |
// address of high-order 32 bits of tape position |
); |
Value |
Description |
TAPE_ABSOLUTE_POSITION |
The lpdwOffsetLow and lpdwOffsetHigh parameters receive the device-specific block address. The dwPartition parameter receives zero. |
TAPE_LOGICAL_POSITION |
The lpdwOffsetLow and lpdwOffsetHigh parameters receive the logical block address. The dwPartition parameter receives the logical tape partition. |
If the function succeeds, the return value is NO_ERROR.
If the function fails, the return value is one of the following error codes:
Error code |
Description |
ERROR_BEGINNING_OF_MEDIA |
An attempt to access data before the beginning-of-medium marker failed. |
ERROR_BUS_RESET |
A reset condition was detected on the bus. |
ERROR_END_OF_MEDIA |
The end-of-tape marker was reached during an operation. |
ERROR_FILEMARK_DETECTED |
A filemark was reached during an operation. |
ERROR_SETMARK_DETECTED |
A setmark was reached during an operation. |
ERROR_NO_DATA_DETECTED |
The end-of-data marker was reached during an operation. |
ERROR_PARTITION_FAILURE |
The tape could not be partitioned. |
ERROR_INVALID_BLOCK_LENGTH |
The block size is incorrect on a new tape in a multivolume partition. |
ERROR_DEVICE_NOT_PARTITIONED |
The partition information could not be found when a tape was being loaded. |
ERROR_MEDIA_CHANGED |
The tape that was in the drive has been replaced or removed. |
ERROR_NO_MEDIA_IN_DRIVE |
There is no media in the drive. |
ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED |
The tape driver does not support a requested function. |
ERROR_UNABLE_TO_LOCK_MEDIA |
An attempt to lock the ejection mechanism failed. |
ERROR_UNABLE_TO_UNLOAD_MEDIA |
An attempt to unload the tape failed. |
ERROR_WRITE_PROTECT |
The media is write protected. |
A logical block address is relative to a partition. The first logical block address on each partition is zero.
Call the GetTapeParameters function to obtain information about the status, capabilities, and capacities of tape drives and media.
