DESCRIPTION

12       cdrom_id  is normally called from a udev rule, to provide udev with the
13       capabilities of a cdrom or dvdrom drive. Udev can use this  information
14       to create symlinks like /dev/cdrom or /dev/dvd to the real device node.

USAGE

17       cdrom_id  opens  the  blockdevice node specified at the commandline and
18       prints the discovered capabilities.
