@section intro Introduction
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Libburn is an open-source library for reading, mastering and writing
|
|
||||||
optical discs. 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

<pre>
|
|
||||||
Usage: test/libburner
|
|
||||||
[--drive <address>|<driveno>|"-"]
|
|
||||||
[--verbose <level>] [--blank_fast|--blank_full]
|
|
||||||
[--burn_for_real|--try_to_simulate] [--stdin_size <bytes>]
|
|
||||||
[<imagefile>|"-"]
|
|
||||||
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.
