NAME

6       pktsetup - set up and tear down packet device associations

SYNOPSIS

10       pktsetup packet_device block_device
11       pktsetup -d packet_device
12       pktsetup -s
13

DESCRIPTION

15       Pktsetup  is  used  to  associate  packet  devices with CD or DVD block
16       devices, so that the packet device can then be mounted and  potentially
17       used  as  a read/write filesystem. This requires kernel support for the
18       packet device, and the UDF filesystem.
