$TAPE Ev may refer to a number of things, not just a physical tape device:

- for -f description, point people to TAPE
- for TAPE description, point people to -f
- use `file' to describe these differing forms, as that is consistent with
the rest of the page

this is based on -r1.71 from freebsd, from ceri davies,
which was in turn based on pr #84200 from gary w. swearingen;
