README - update writelto, attempts to fix #169

[kieranjol]

I'm almost certain that this is fairly wrong in a few ways, but maybe it'll get the ball rolling. Any edits/fixes are very welcome..

That would write the content of the lto tape onto the same lto tape. A better example would be:
writelto -t $tape_serial $any_other_place

Lol I'm sorry, I'm going pretty blind here.looks like your PR would make this redundant as the docs would be correct of that was merged?

[privatezero]

I think that even after that PR is merged, the docs still should be updated along the lines you are doing! I see that PR more as a check against data not being entered initially. People should probably know that they need to add both those values for a complete executable command.

[privatezero]

sorry to nitpick, but I think maybe writing inputs as variables in the docs might confuse some people who aren't familiar with $ denoting a user changeable variable?

I never am sure of the most intuitive way to denote user inputs in docs, but maybe TAPE_SERIAL and SOURCE_DIRECTORY, or possibly [Tape Serial] [Source Directory]? (Although when I have used the latter format I often find myself having to explain that the [ ] are not part of the command. I wonder if there is any common precedent across amiaos repos?

[kieranjol]

I agree, maybe the all caps, with an example command to make it extra clear?

[privatezero]

I think that makes sense!

[retokromer]

Would it not be clearer to use two flags: one for the tape_serial and one for the source_directory?

Has this PR not been superseded by ed8ccab?

[retokromer]

Could this be resolved and another release made? I will then upgrade the Homebrew formula.
