+cat << EOF
+mtx is a set of low level driver programs to control features of SCSI backup
+related devices such as autoloaders, tape changers, media jukeboxes, and
+tape drives. It can also report much data, including serial numbers, maximum
+block sizes, and TapeAlert(tm) messages that most modern tape drives
+implement (to tell you the exact reason why a backup or restore failed), as
+well as do raw SCSI READ and WRITE commands to tape drives (not important on
+Linux, but important on Solaris due to the fact that the Solaris tape driver
+supports none of the additional features of tape drives invented after
+1988). mtx is designed to be a low level driver in a larger scripted backup
+solution, such as Amanda. mtx is not supposed to itself be a high level
+interface to the SCSI devices that it controls.
