@section intro Introduction

Libburnia is an open-source project for reading, mastering and writing
|
||||
optical discs.

optical discs. This page is about its capability to handle optical media.
|

For now this means CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-RAM, DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD+R/DL, DVD-RW,
|

DVD-R, BD-RE.

DVD-R, BD-R, BD-RE.
|
||||
|

Not supported yet are DVD-R/DL, HD-DVD, BD-R (blue ray). Testers for
|
||||
DVD-R/DL are wanted, though. BD-R programming efforts would be made
|
||||
if an interested tester contacts us.

Not supported yet are DVD-R/DL. Testers wanted.
|
||||
|
||||
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, or FreeBSD . For ports to other
|
||||
systems we would need : login on a development machine resp. a live OS on CD
|
||||
or DVD, advise from a system person about the equivalent of Linux sg or FreeBSD
|
||||
CAM, volunteers for testing of realistic use cases.

|
||||
libburn is the library by which preformatted data get onto optical media.
|
||||
Its code is independent of cdrecord. Its DVD capabilities are learned from
|
||||
studying the code of dvd+rw-tools and MMC-5 specs. No code but only the pure
|
||||
SCSI knowledge has been taken from dvd+rw-tools, though.
|
||||
|
||||
We have a well tested code base for burning data and audio CDs and many DVD
|
||||
types. The burn API is quite comprehensively documented and can be used to
|
||||
build a presentable application.
|
||||
We have a functional binary which emulates the core use cases 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.
|
||||
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. Additionally it provides libburn's DVD/BD capabilities,
|
||||
where only -sao is compatible with 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.
|
||||
|
||||
ISO 9660 filesystems with Rock Ridge and Joliet extensions can be created
|
||||
and manipulated quite freely. This capability together with our burn capability
|
||||
makes possible a single binary application which covers all steps of image
|
||||
composition, updating and writing. Quite unique in the Linux world.
|
||||
The burn API example of libburn is named test/libburner.c . The API for media
|
||||
information inquiry is demonstrated in test/telltoc.c .
|
||||
Explore these examples if you look for inspiration.

@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/srM or /dev/hdX (e.g. on kernel 2.6).
|
||||
libburn is the foundation of our cdrecord emulation. Its code is
|
||||
independent of cdrecord. Its DVD capabilities are learned from
|
||||
studying the code of dvd+rw-tools and MMC-5 specs. No code but only
|
||||
the pure SCSI knowledge has been taken from dvd+rw-tools, though.
|
||||
|
||||
- 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.
|
||||
|
||||
- libisoburn is an add-on to libburn and libisofs which coordinates both and
|
||||
also allows to grow ISO-9660 filesystem images on multi-session
|
||||
media as well as on overwriteable media via the same API.
|
||||
All media peculiarities are handled automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
- cdrskin is a limited cdrecord compatibility wrapper for libburn.
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
runs, though.
|
||||
See cdrskin/README for more.
|
||||
|
||||
- xorriso is an application of all three libraries which creates, loads,
|
||||
manipulates and writes ISO 9660 filesystem images with
|
||||
Rock Ridge extensions. Manipulation is not only adding or
|
||||
overwriting of files but also deletion, renaming, and attribute
|
||||
changing. An incremental backup feature is provided.
|
||||
See xorriso/README for more
|
||||
|
||||
- "test" is a collection of application gestures and examples given by the
|
||||
authors of the library features. The burn API example of libburn
|
||||
is named test/libburner.c . The API for media information inquiry is
|
||||
demonstrated in test/telltoc.c .
|
||||
Explore these examples if you look for inspiration.
|
||||
|
||||
We strive to be a responsive upstream.
|
||||
|
||||
Our libraries are committed to maintain older feature sets in newer versions.
|
||||
This applies to source code headers (API) as well as to linkable objects (ABI).
|
||||
The only exception from this rule is about non-release versions x.y.*[13579]
|
||||
which are allowed to introduce new features, change those new features in
|
||||
any way and even may revoke such new features before the next release of
|
||||
x.y.*[02468]. As soon as it is released, a feature is promised to persist.

libburner is a minimal demo application for the library libburn
|
||||
(see: libburn/libburn.h) as provided on http://libburnia-project.org .
|
||||
It can list the available devices, can blank a CD-RW or DVD-RW and
|
||||
can burn to recordable CD and recordable single layer DVD.

It can list the available devices, can burn to recordable CD, DVD, or BD,

It's main purpose, nevertheless, is to show you how to use libburn and also

to serve the libburnia team as reference application. libburner does indeed
