# eject(1)

    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.

         mt(1), hd(4), sd(4).
