tape label of the currently attached magnetic media directly into
the primary input buffer. The input buffer is cleared before the label
is copied into it. If there is no label, the input buffer is cleared
anyway. Note that the tape device must be attached.

## Syntax

101 ss
102 it
103 d0
```

```
