eject [options] [media]

Solaris only. Eject removable media, such as a floppy disk or CD-ROM. Necessary for media being managed by vold, or for media without an eject button, such as the floppy drives on Sun SPARC systems. media is either a device name or a nickname, such as floppy or cdrom.

-n

Display the list of nicknames and their corresponding real devices.

-p
