NAME

     eject - eject removable media


SYNOPSIS

     eject device


DESCRIPTION

     Eject tells a device to eject  removable  media,  usually  a
     floppy  or CD-ROM.  Eject invokes the DIOCEJECT ioctl on the
     device.  The media will then be ejected, or  allowed  to  be
     removed.  The call will fail if the device is still in use.

     Tapes can't be unloaded with this command,  use  mt  offline
     instead.


SEE ALSO

     mt(1), disk(4), tape(4).
