       NTREC is the number of TP_BSIZE-byte records in a physical
       tape block.

       The  TS_  entries are used in the c_type field to indicate
       what sort of header this is.  The types and their meanings
       are  as  follows:  Tape volume label.  A file or directory
       follows.  The c_dinode field is a copy of the  disk  inode
       and  contains  bits  telling what sort of file this is.  A
       bit map follows.  This bit map has a one (1) bit for  each
       inode that was dumped.  A subrecord of a file description.
       See c_addr described  in  the  next  list.   End  of  tape
       record.   A bit map follows.  This bit map contains a zero
       bit for all inodes that were empty on the file system when
       dumped.   All  header records have this number in c_magic.
       Header records checksum to this value.

       The fields of the header structure  are  as  follows:  The
       type  of  the  header.  The date of the dump.  The date of
       the previous dump to the file system.  The current  volume
       number   of   the   dump.   The  current  number  of  this
       (1024-byte) record.  The number of the inode being  dumped
       if  this  is  of  type  TS_INODE.  This contains the value
       MAGIC above, truncated as needed.  This contains  whatever
       value  is needed to make the record sum to CHECKSUM.  This
       is a copy of the inode as it appears on the  file  system.
       For  further information, see fs(4).  The count of characters
 in c_addr.  An array  of  characters  describing  the
       blocks  of  the  dumped  file.  A character is zero if the
       block associated with that character was  not  present  on
       the  file  system; otherwise the character is nonzero.  If
       the block was not present on the file system, no block was
       dumped;  the block will be restored as a hole in the file.
       If there  is  not  sufficient  space  in  this  record  to
       describe all of the blocks in a file, TS_ADDR records will
       be scattered through the file, each one picking  up  where
       the last left off.  The label of the dump.  The level number
 of the dump.  The name of the file system.   The  name
       of the device.  The name of the host.  Additional information
 such as whether the dump uses the format tape  header
       described here.

       Each  volume except the last ends with a tapemark (read as
       an end of file).  The  last  volume  ends  with  a  TS_END
       record and then the tapemark.

       The  structure  idates  describes  an  entry  in  the file
       /etc/dumpdates where dump history is kept.  The fields  of
       the    structure    are:    The   dumped   filesystem   is
       `/dev/?/id_nam' where ? indicates a device class subdirectory
  such  as  /dev/disk.   The  level number of the dump
       tape.  For further information, see dump(8).  The date  of
       the incremental dump in system format.
