For now this means only CD-R and CD-RW. - -The project comprises of several more or less interdependent parts which -together strive to be a usable foundation for application development. -These are libraries, language bindings, and middleware binaries which emulate -classical (and valuable) Linux tools. - -Our scope is currently Linux 2.4 and 2.6 and we will have a hard time to widen -this for now, because of our history. The project could need advise from or -membership of skilled kernel people and people who know how to talk CD/DVD -drives into doing things. - -We do have a workable code base for burning data CDs, though. The burn API is -quite comprehensively documented and can be used to build a presentable -application. -We do have a functional binary which emulates parts of cdrecord in order to -prove that usability, and in order to allow you to explore libburn's scope -by help of existing cdrecord frontends. - -@subsection components The project components (list subject to growth, hopefully): - -- libburn is the library by which preformatted data get onto optical media. - It uses either /dev/sgN (e.g. on kernel 2.4 with ide-scsi) or - /dev/hdX (e.g. on kernel 2.6). - libburn is the foundation of our cdrecord emulation. - -- libisofs is the library to pack up hard disk files and directories into a - ISO 9660 disk image. This may then be brought to CD via libburn. - libisofs is to be the foundation of our upcoming mkisofs emulation. - -- cdrskin is a limited cdrecord compatibility wrapper for libburn. - cdrecord is a powerful GPL'ed burn program included in Joerg - Schilling's cdrtools. cdrskin strives to be a second source for - the services traditionally provided by cdrecord. - cdrskin does not contain any bytes copied from cdrecord's sources. - Many bytes have been copied from the message output of cdrecord - runs, though. - See cdrskin/README for more. - -- "test" is a collection of application gestures and examples given by the - authors of the library features. The main API example of libburn - is named test/libburner.c . - Explore these examples if you look for inspiration. - -We plan to be a responsive upstream. Bear with us. - - - @section using Using the libraries - -Our build system is based on autotools. -User experience tells us that you will need at least autotools version 1.7. - -To build libburn and its subprojects it should be sufficient to go into -its toplevel directory and execute - -- ./bootstrap (needed if you downloaded from SVN) - -- ./configure - -- make - -To make the libraries accessible for running resp. developing applications - -- make install - -Both libraries are written in C language and get built by autotools. -Thus we expect them to be useable by a wide range of Linux-implemented -languages and development tools. - - -@section libburner Libburner - -libburner is a minimal demo application for the library libburn -(see: libburn/libburn.h) as provided on http://libburn.pykix.org . -It can list the available devices, can blank a CD-RW and -can burn to CD-R or CD-RW. - -It's main purpose, nevertheless, is to show you how to use libburn and also -to serve the libburn team as reference application. libburner does indeed -define the standard way how above three gestures can be implemented and -stay upward compatible for a good while. - - @subsection libburner-help Libburner --help -

-       [--verbose ] [--blank_fast|--blank_full]
-       [--burn_for_real|--try_to_simulate] [--stdin_size ]
-       [|"-"]
-Examples
-A bus scan (needs rw-permissions to see a drive):
-  test/libburner --drive -
-Burn a file to drive chosen by number:
-  test/libburner --drive 0 --burn_for_real my_image_file
-Burn a file to drive chosen by persistent address:
-  test/libburner --drive /dev/hdc --burn_for_real my_image_file
-Blank a used CD-RW (is combinable with burning in one run):
-  test/libburner --drive 0 --blank_fast
-Burn a compressed afio archive on-the-fly, pad up to 700 MB:
-  ( cd my_directory ; find . -print | afio -oZ - ) | \
-  test/libburner --drive /dev/hdc --burn_for_real --stdin_size 734003200  -
-To be read from *not mounted* CD via:
-   afio -tvZ /dev/hdc
-Program tar would need a clean EOF which our padded CD cannot deliver.
