GitHub Documentation Updates for ltomanifest

Dependencies:

• bagit
• yaml
• optparse

Usage:

ltomanifest [option] [inputfile]

Options:

Make Manifest
Prior to writing files to LTO, you need to create a manifest. To create a manifest of all files included in a directory (to be written to LTO), run: ltomanifest -m [directory path]
Note: for 5.73TB, total time to create manifest takes roughly a day.

Confirm Manifest
Once you have written files to LTO, you need to verify the contents of the tape by confirming the manifest> To confirm the manifest, run: ltomanifest -c [directory path]
Note: This will take as much time (if not more) as/than it did for the files to write to the tape. For 5.73TB, total time to confirm manifest take roughly two days.
