     eejjeecctt ejects a medium from the specified device.  The _d_e_v_i_c_e argument
     specifies a device either by its full path name (identified by a
     ``/dev/'' prefix), or by one of the built-in nicknames. If the medium
     contains a filesystem that is currently mounted, eejjeecctt will attempt to
     unmount the filesystem before ejecting.

     The following options are available:

     --dd _r_a_w _d_e_v_i_c_e
          An alternative way to specify a raw device path name. It need not
          start with ``/dev/''.

     --ff   Force the eject operation without attempting to unmount any filesys-
          tems first.

     --nn   List the built-in nicknames on standard output.

     --tt _d_e_v_i_c_e _t_y_p_e
          Specify the device type. The argument must be one of ffllooppppyy, ccddrroomm
          or ttaappee. Might be used for devices for which no built-in knowledge
          is available.

     --vv   Display some of the actions taken on standard output.
