tapesctl

Reference pages for tapesctl, synced at build time from papercomputeco/tapesctl. Each page is owned by that repo, so a behavior change and its documentation land in the same pull request there.

  • tapesctl — The command-line client for tapes — what it does, the two server ports it talks to, and a first capture and read.
  • How capture works — The two capture lanes, which harness uses which mechanism, what attribution means, and why the session id start prints is not the one read commands take.
  • Command reference — Every tapesctl command with its flags, environment equivalents, exit codes, and error families.
  • Configuration — How tapesctl resolves a server URL, the config.toml schema, and every file and directory it reads or writes.
  • Cassettes — The command surface your tapes deployment serves, discovered at runtime — how it is generated, how it is cached, and how to call it.
  • Troubleshooting — The failures that actually happen — a capture that landed nowhere, a session id that 404s, a missing server URL, and plugin conflicts.
