DESCRIPTION

32       The  cdwrtool  command can perform certain actions on a CD-R, CD-RW, or
33       DVD-R device. Mainly these are blanking the media, formating it for use
34       with the packet-cd device,  and applying an UDF filesystem.
35
36       The most common usage is probably the `quick setup' option:
37
38              cdrwtool -d device -q
39
40       which  will blank the disc, format it as one large track, and write the
41       UDF filesystem structures.
42
43       Other options get and set various parameters of how the device  is  set
44       up,  and  provide  for  different  offsets, modes and settings from the
45       defaults.
46
47       The usefulness of most of the options is not explained.

OPTIONS

51       Main directives:
52
53       -d device
54              Specify the device to use. eg. /dev/sr0
55
56
57       -i     Print disc track info.
58
59
60       -g     Print write parameters.
61
62
63       -u length
64              Make a UDF filesystem using length number of blocks.
65
66
67       -m offset
68              Format the disc at offset number of blocks.
69
70
71       -b mode
72              Blank the disk using a mode of `full' or `fast'.
73
74
75       -f filename
76              Write file.
77
78
79       -c track
80              Close track.
81
82       -r track
83              Reserve track.
84
85
86       -s     Set write parameters determined by -l, -w, and  -p  options  for
87              the disc.
88
89
90       -v version
91              Specify  the  udf  revision  to use. Valid revisions are 0x0201,
92              0x0200, 0x0150, and 0x0102. If omitted, mkudffs  udf-version  is
93              0x0150.
94
95
96       -h     Prints a sparse help message.
97
98       Write parameters:
99
100       -t speed
101              Set write speed. (Defaults to 12x ?)
102
103       -l type
104              Set  multi-session field. Either `0', `1', or `3', corresponding
105              to `No B0 pointer. Next Session  not  allowed',  `B0  pointer  =
106              FF:FF:FF.  Next session not allowed', and `Next session allowed.
107              B0 pointer = next possible program area' respectively.
108
109       -w mode
110              Set write mode. Either `mode1' or `mode2'.
111
112       -p type
113              Set packet type. Either `0' or `1',  corresponding  to  variable
114              and fixed packet sizes respectively.
115
116       -o offset
117              Set write offset.
