REWIND                                                   CP Privilege Class:  G

Use the REWIND command to rewind (but not unload) a real tape unit attached to
your virtual machine at a specific virtual device address.  The format of the
REWIND command is:
+----------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
| REWIND   | vaddr                                                            |
+----------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
where:

vaddr    is the virtual device address (cuu) of the tape unit to be rewound.


Usage note:

The REWIND command accomplishes the manual operation of rewinding and making
the tape ready at the tape unit.

Response:

REWIND COMPLETE
   is the response you receive upon the the successful initiation of the
   command.  Receiving this message does not imply that the tape is physically
   rewound yet.
