Among other things, yes. But the scanner man page shows other usages.
In particular, you can use it to read directly from a tape, and pipe the
output into the local filesystem. So you're not really doing a
"recover" at all. It's just spewing data from the tape into a
filesystem.
# scanner /dev/rmt/xxx -x uasm -rv -m/=/a
(recover all data from the tape in /dev/rmt/xxx, and rename it so that
everything is stored under /a).
Again, I've *never* tried that on windows and really don't know how the
name redirection works there.

I don't know about one per line. I think you just pass them in on the
command line with -S (but there may be another format that I'm not
seeing). With no path name given, this will recover all files in the
specified saveset(s).
Until you mentioned it, I thought recover could only do one saveset at a
time, but that might work well.
