DESCRIPTION
     The sam-robotsd daemon starts and monitors the execution of
     the media changer library control daemons for SAM-QFS.  The
     sam-robotsd daemon is started automatically by the sam-amld
     daemon if there are any libraries defined in the mcf file.
     The sam-robotsd daemon starts and monitors the correct
     daemon for all defined libraries.  For more information on
     the mcf file, see the mcf(4) man page.

     Each library daemon is responsible for monitoring the
     preview table for the VSNs that are controlled by that
     daemon.  If a request is found for one of its VSNs, the
     daemon finds an available drive under its control and moves
     the cartridge into that drive.  When the device is ready,
     the daemon notifies the SAM-QFS library daemon, and the
     device is assigned to the waiting process.

     The identifiers are as follows:

     mshmid    The identifier of the master shared memory segment
               created by the sam-amld daemon.

     pshmid    The identifier of the preview shared memory
               segment created by the sam-amld daemon.

     equip     The equipment number of the device.

     The sam-genericd daemon controls libraries that conform to
     the SCSI II standard for media changers, and it is the
     daemon that controls the ADIC/Grau ABBA library through the
     grauaci interface.  For more information on this interface,
     see the grauaci(7) man page.

     The sam-stkd daemon controls StorageTek libraries through
     the ACSAPI interface and is included in the SAM-QFS software
     package.  For more information on this interface, see the
     stk(7) man page.

     The sam-ibm3494d daemon controls IBM 3494 tape libraries
     through the lmcpd interface and is included in the SAM-QFS
     software package.  For more information on this interface,
     see the ibm3494(7) man page.

     The sam-sonyd daemon controls Sony libraries through the
     Sony DZC-800S PetaSite Application Interface Library and is
     included in the SAM-QFS software package.  For more
     information on this interface, see the sony(7) man page.
