$ eject -q ${-mnt-tape}

The command eject -q ${-mnt-tape} involves the eject program being executed with the provided options and arguments.

The -q option stands for "quiet" and causes the eject command to execute silently without producing any output or messages. It ensures that the eject operation is performed without any unnecessary information being displayed.

The ${-mnt-tape} argument is likely a variable that holds the path or identifier of the tape device or mount point to be ejected. The specific value of this variable would determine which tape device or mount point is targeted for ejection.

In summary, this command will quietly eject a tape device or unmount a tape mount point specified by the ${-mnt-tape} variable.
