58
59       Generates  a  template  (empty)  cddb file to stdout.  The command line

61
62       query [server] [user] [host] [disc-id] [tracks]
63
64       Looks up disc on server (should be of form "http://host/cddb/cddb.cgi")
65       remainder  of  command line is in the same form as that returned by the
66       cd-discid program. Uses wget, so if you need to use a proxy  then  just
67       configure  wget  to  do  so. user and host will be used for identifying
68       ourselves to the CDDB server. Outputs response code  and  entries  with
69       matching CDDB entries, if successful, from the CDDB server.

73
74       Dumps CDDB entry to stdout. File will contain an extra #CATEGORY= line,
75       which leaves it a valid CDDB file but which will be recognized by parse
76       and  send  commands. Uses wget, so if you need to use a proxy then just
77       configure wget to do so. user and host will  be  used  for  identifying
78       ourselves to the CDDB server.
