EJECT(1) BSD General Commands Manual EJECT(1)
NAME
eject -- eject a floppy disk, cdrom or tape
SYNOPSIS
eject [-fv] [-l | -L | -U] [-t device-type] [-d] device
eject -n
DESCRIPTION
The eject program ejects a medium from the specified device. It can also load a cdrom in the drive if this operation is supported by the
hardware. The device argument specifies a device either by its full path name (identified by a /dev/ prefix), or by one of the built-in
nicknames. If the medium contains a file system that is currently mounted, eject will attempt to unmount the file system before ejecting.
The following options are available:
-d Deprecated.
-f Force the eject operation without attempting to unmount any file systems first.
-l Load media in the drive (only supported for the cdrom device type).
-L Lock the media into the drive (but see BUGS below).
-n List the built-in nicknames on standard output.
-t device-type
Specify the device type. The argument must be one of diskette, floppy, cdrom, disk, or tape. This option is necessary when ejecting a
device for which no built-in knowledge is available.
-U Unlock the media from the drive.
-v Display some of the actions taken on standard output.
BUGS
Most disk drivers automatically lock the media on the first open and unlock it on the last close, making 'eject -L' almost useless, since
when it closes the device, it gets unlocked again.
