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,  formatting  it  for
34       use 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       -q     `Quick setup': blank the disc, format it as one large track  and
68              write a UDF filesystem.
69
70
71       -m offset
72              Format the disc at offset number of blocks.
73
74
75       -b mode
76              Blank the disk using a mode of `full' or `fast'.
77
78
79       -f filename
80              Write file.
81
82
83       -c track
84              Close track.
85
86       -r track
87              Reserve track.
88
89
90       -z length
91              Fixed packet length.
92
93
94
95       -s     Set  write  parameters  determined by -l, -w, and -p options for
96              the disc.
97
98
99       -v version
100              Specify the udf revision to use.  Valid  revisions  are  0x0201,
101              0x0200,  0x0150,  and 0x0102. If omitted, mkudffs udf-version is
102              0x0150.
103
104
105       -h     Prints a sparse help message.
106
107       Write parameters:
108
109       -t speed
110              Set write speed. (Defaults to 12x ?)
111
112       -l type
113              Set multi-session field. Either `0' (default), `1', or `3', cor‐
114              responding  to  `No  B0  pointer. Next Session not allowed', `B0
115              pointer = FF:FF:FF. Next session not allowed', and `Next session
116              allowed. B0 pointer = next possible program area' respectively.
117
118       -w mode
119              Set write mode. Either `mode1' or `mode2' (default).
120
121       -p type
122              Set  packet  type. Either `0' or `1' (default), corresponding to
123              variable and fixed packet sizes respectively.
124
125       -o offset
126              Set write offset.
