Summary: Virtual Tape Library kernel module
 
This is the kernel module package for the mhvtl Virtual Tape &
Library package.

This works in conjunction with the user-land commands and libraries
to enable tape emulation.

The vtl module is a stripped-down derivative of the scsi_debug kernel
module, plus a character device "back end" to pass the SCSI commands
through to user-space daemons.

    firmware file, and a new man page.
