5.4.5: CONFIG_FT_PROC_FS, procfs interface of ftape

This option is disabled by default. Please refer to the file BUGS to get to know why. If you enable this feature then a file `ftape' in the root directory of the `proc' file system is created (i.e. normally there will be an entry `/proc/ftape' if you didn't mount the proc file system somewhere else than under `/proc/').

You can view this file with your favorite pager (i.e. with more or less) or just copy its contents to the terminal window with `cat /proc/ftape'. Sample output of `cat /proc/ftape' command is shown below:
