Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

mt-st tools contains two programs: mt and stinit, used for dealing with Linux-specific tape-drive handling. mt program is tailored for SCSI tape drives, but it can also be used with other Linux tape drivers that use the same ioctls. The program stinit is meant for initializing of SCSI tape drive modes at system startup, or when new tape drivers are added.
