-can be interpreted in two different modes.
-
-Standard mode tries to be compatible to original cdrecord. This should be true

-matching scsibus,target,lun as given by the operating system.
-With dev=ATA: or dev=ATAPI: the translation to /dev/hdX is purely literal
-but matches the cdrecord addresses on all systems tested so far:
-  X = 'a' + 2 * scsibus + target
-where target only may have the values 0 or 1.
-
-In this mode, option -scanbus will list only SCSI devices unless option
-dev=ATA or dev=ATAPI are given, which will suppress SCSI devices and only
-show IDE drives (i.e. /dev/hdX without ide-scsi emulation).
-
-
-In mode  --old_pseudo_scsi_adr  there is a scsibus,target,lun representation
-which has nothing to do with SCSI and thus is not compatible to cdrecord.
-Each number triple corresponds either to a device file address or to a
-libburn drive number.
-Component "scsibus" indicates the translation method. Defined busses are:
-  0  target is the libburn drivenumber as listed with --devices
-  1  associated to device file /dev/sgN , target chooses N
-  2  associated to device file /dev/hdX , target 0='a', 1='b' ..., 25='z' 
-
-So "1,1,0" is /dev/sg1 (resp. its /dev/sr*), "2,3,0" is /dev/hdd,
-"0,2,0" is libburn drive #2 at some unspecified device file. 
-This scheme shall help to keep cdrecord-style addresses stable and exchangeable
-between users without excluding drives with unexpected device addresses.
-The numbering on bus 0 is prone to arbitrary changes caused by changes in
-drive accessability.
-Further busses may emerge as libburn evolves. "prefix" and "lun" may get
-a meaning. To stay upward compatible, use addresses as printed by -scanbus.
-
-                  User Defined Device Address Translation
-
-Some programs or users have their own ideas about the address of their burner.
-K3b 0.10 for example derives cdrecord addresses by own examination of the
-devices and not by calling cdrecord -scanbus.
-Standard mode will hopefully be fully compatible with their ideas.
-
-Old frontends which do not know dev=ATA or dev=ATAPI and which do ask their
-"cdrecord" via -scanbus may be well served with option  --old_pseudo_scsi_adr .
-
-To direct any remaining stubborn callers to the appropriate drives, cdrskin
-allows to define device address aliases. Like
-  cdrskin dev_translation=+1,0,0+/dev/sr1 \
-          dev_translation=+ATA:1,0,0+/dev/sr1 \
-          dev_translation=-"cd+dvd"-0,1,0 \
-          ...
-Any of the addresses dev=1,0,0, dev=ATA:1,0,0, dev=cd+dvd will be mapped to
-/dev/sr1 resp. to 0,1,0.
-The first character after "dev_translation=" defines the character which
-separates the two parts of the translation pair. (Above: "+" and "-".)
-
-In K3b 0.10 it is possible to employ alternative writer programs by setting
-their full path (e.g. /usr/bin/cdrskin) in menu
-  Settings:Configure K3b...:Programs:Search Path 
-and to make them default in menu
-  Settings:Configure K3b...:Programs:Programs:
-A suitable setting for "cdrecord" in menu 
-  Settings:Configure K3b...:Programs:User Parameters
-would then probably be
-  -v dev_translation=+1,0,0+/dev/sr1
-You will learn from button "Show Debugging Output" after a failed burn run
-what cdrecord command was used with what address "dev=...". This address "..."
-will be the right one to replace "1,0,0" in above example.

+dnl    REVISION= LT_REVISION
+dnl
+dnl Beginning with libburn-0.4.1 a rectified counting was introduced as
+dnl    CURRENT=10, REVISION=1, AGE=6
+dnl This rectification declared that version to be binary compatible up
+dnl from libburn-0.3.4.
+dnl Real compatibility was given since libburn-0.3.2.
+dnl Beware of libburn-0.2.6 which had SONAME=6 and is not binary compatible.
+dnl Applications for libburn-0.2 to libburn-0.3.1 need recompilation but no
+dnl source code changes.
+dnl
+dnl Neatly versioned stable releases meanwhile:
+dnl    0.4.2 = libburn.so.4.7.0
+dnl    0.4.4 = libburn.so.4.9.0
+dnl
+dnl So LT_CURRENT, LT_REVISION and LT_AGE get set directly here.
+dnl SONAME of the emerging library is  LT_CURRENT - LT_AGE.
+dnl The linker will do no finer checks. Especially no age range check for
+dnl the application binary. If SONAME matches, then the couple starts.
+dnl 
+dnl Therefore at run time info is provided by libburn function burn_version().
+dnl It returns the major, minor and micro revision of the library.
+dnl Before using any API feature, a program should check for age.
+dnl
+dnl The variables BURN_*_VERSION are mere copies for informing libtool.
+dnl The true values which get issued and should be compared are macros
+dnl defined in libburn/libburn.h .
+dnl
+dnl Normally one can allow a program to run with a library which passed the
+dnl linker SONAME test and which is not older than the library it was
+dnl developed for. Library2 is younger than library1 if:
+dnl   major2>major1 || (major2==major1 &&
+dnl                     (minor2>minor1 || (minor2==minor1 && micro2 > micro1)))

+/** Data source interface for tracks.
+    This allows to use arbitrary program code as provider of track input data.
+
+    Objects compliant to this interface are either provided by the application
+    or by API calls of libburn: burn_fd_source_new() , burn_file_source_new(),
+    and burn_fifo_source_new().
+
+    The API calls allow to use any file object as data source. Consider to feed
+    an eventual custom data stream asynchronously into a pipe(2) and to let
+    libburn handle the rest. 
+    In this case the following rule applies:
+    Call burn_source_free() exactly once for every source obtained from
+    libburn API. You MUST NOT otherwise use or manipulate its components.
+
+    In general, burn_source objects can be freed as soon as they are attached
+    to track objects. The track objects will keep them alive and dispose them
+    when they are no longer needed. With a fifo burn_source it makes sense to
+    keep the own reference for inquiring its state while burning is in
+    progress.
+
+    ---
+
+    The following description of burn_source applies only to application
+    implemented burn_source objects. You need not to know it for API provided
+    ones.
+
+    If you really implement an own passive data producer by this interface,
+    then beware: it can do anything and it can spoil everything.
+
+    In this case the functions (*read), (*get_size), (*set_size), (*free_data)
+    MUST be implemented by the application and attached to the object at
+    creation time.
+    Function (*read_sub) is allowed to be NULL or it MUST be implemented and
+    attached.
+
+    burn_source.refcount MUST be handled properly: If not exactly as many
+    references are freed as have been obtained, then either memory leaks or

+    non-obtrusive way to use libburn:
       burn_drive_add_whitelist() , burn_drive_scan() , burn_drive_grab()
     You are *strongly urged* to use this call whenever you know the drive
     address in advance.
+
     If not, then you have to use directly above calls. In that case, you are
     *strongly urged* to drop any unintended drive which will be exclusively
     occupied and not closed by burn_drive_scan().
     This can be done by shutting down the library including a call to
     burn_finish(). You may later start a new libburn session and should then
     use the function described here with an address obtained after
-    burn_drive_scan() via burn_drive_get_adr(&(drive_infos[driveno]), adr) .
+    burn_drive_scan() via burn_drive_d_get_adr(drive_infos[driveno].drive,adr).
     Another way is to drop the unwanted drives by burn_drive_info_forget().
+
+    Operating on multiple drives:
+
+    Different than with burn_drive_scan() it is allowed to call
+    burn_drive_scan_and_grab() without giving up any other scanned drives. So
+    this call can be used to get a collection of more than one aquired drives.
+    The attempt to aquire the same drive twice will fail, though.
+
+    Pseudo-drives:
+
+    burn_drive_scan_and_grab() is able to aquire virtual drives which will
+    accept options much like a MMC burner drive. Many of those options will not
+    cause any effect, though. The address of a pseudo-drive begins with
+    prefix "stdio:" followed by a path.
+    Examples:  "stdio:/tmp/pseudo_drive" , "stdio:/dev/null" , "stdio:-"
+
+    If the path is empty, the result is a null-drive = drive role 0.
+    It pretends to have loaded no media and supports no reading or writing.
+
+    If the path leads to an existing regular file, or to a not yet existing
+    file, or to an existing block device, then the result is a random access
+    stdio-drive capable of reading and writing = drive role 2.
+
+    If the path leads to an existing file of any type other than directory,
+    then the result is a sequential write-only stdio-drive = drive role 3.
+
+    The special address form "stdio:/dev/fd/<number>" is interpreted literally
+    as reference to open file descriptor <number>. This address form coincides
+    with real files on some systems, but it is in fact hardcoded in libburn.
+    Special address "stdio:-" means stdout = "stdio:/dev/fd/1".
+    The role of such a drive is determined by the file type obtained via
+    fstat(<number>).
+   
+    Roles 2 and 3 perform all their eventual data transfer activities on a file
+    via standard i/o functions open(2), lseek(2), read(2), write(2), close(2).
+    The media profile is reported as 0xffff. Write space information from those
+    media is not necessarily realistic.
+
+    The capabilities of role 2 resemble DVD-RAM but it can simulate writing.
+    If the path does not exist in the filesystem yet, it is attempted to create
+    it as a regular file as soon as write operations are started.
+
+    The capabilities of role 3 resemble a blank DVD-R.
+
+    One may distinguish pseudo-drives from MMC drives by call
+    burn_drive_get_drive_role().

+  Owner of libdax_msgs is libburn. A fully compatible variant named libiso_msgs

+  Compatible variants may get plugged together by call combinations like
+    burn_set_messenger(iso_get_messenger());
+  A new variant would demand a _set_messenger() function if it has to work

+Description of the helper program stic*/bin/cgen
+
+cgen is copyright 2001 to 2007, Thomas Schmitt <stic-source@gmx.net>
+and provided under BSD license.
+
+Compilation:
+  cc -g -o cgen cgen.c ctyp.c smem.c
+
+
+cgen produces a class stub in C programming language. The data structure of
+the class is described by some lines which get read from stdin. The stub will
+consist of four files which emerge in the current working directory:
+ <classname>.h          public header file of the class
+ <classname>.c          automatically generated C code of the class
+                        plus a copy of <classname>.c.methods
+ <classname>_private.h  private header file of the class
+ <classname>.c.methods  safe storage for manually created functions.
+                        From here they get copied into the generated stub.
+                        If such a file is missing, a dummy gets created.
+It will define a struct <ClassnamE> for representing the class data aspects,
+construtor <Classname>_new(), destructor <Classname>_destroy(),
+getter <Classname>_<element>_get() for each structure element.
+Some more functions get added for particular class and element roles.
+
+cgen normally refuses to overwrite existing files because it supposes that
+those contain code added by the human programmer. 
+Human programmer enhancements may be explanatory comments, class specific
+methods, initial element values and other special precautions within the
+generated functions.
+As long as the modelling phase is going on, one may store such human code
+in <classname>.c.methods and may use command line option -overwrite for
+modelling development cycles.
+
+At some point of model matureness one may decide to give up cgen and the
+.c.method files and to go on only with _private.h , .h and .c files.
+
+
+Command line options
+
+  -no_stic   prevents usage of stic_dir/s_tools/*.[ch]
+
+  -ansi      generates ANSI C function heads and makes file <classname>.h hold
+             only public definitions: an opaque declaration of the class struct
+             and a list of function prototypes. The definiton of the class
+             struct is then in <classname>_private.h .
+  -global_include filename
+             sets the name of a file which will contain globally necessary
+             declarations. Currently it lists the existence of all class
+             structs.
+  -lowercase generate struct <classname> rather than struct <ClassnamE> and
+             function names <classname>_func() rather than <Classname>_func() .
+  -overwrite allows to overwrite files <classname>_private.h, <classname>.h
+             and <classname>.c, but not <classname>.c.methods.
+
+
+Input line format:
+
+There are two states of input: class level and element level.
+Exampes are shown below with class roles and element roles.
+
+Input starts at class level. A class level line may be one of
+
+- Comment. A line which begins with '#' is ignored on class level.
+
+- Empty. A line with no characters is a comment with empty text (i.e. ignored).
+
+- Class. Options which begin with '-' and finally a word in lowercase letters
+  which defines the <classname>. The classname leads to a struct ClassnamE
+  and some class methods implemented as C functions <Classnname>_<func>().
+
+- End of input. Line "@@@" or EOF at stdin end the program run.
+
+After a class line, input switches to element level where a line may be:
+
+- Comment. A line which after some white space begins with '#' is considered
+  a comment. The preceeding white space is ignored and the text after '#' is
+  eventuellay trimmed by a single blank at both ends. This text will be part
+  of the class struct definition within file <classname_private>.h as a single
+  C comment line /* ... */. The sequence of elements and comments is preserved.
+  An empty comment text leads to an empty line in <classname_private>.h.
+
+- Empty. A line with no characters is a comment with empty text.
+
+- Element. Options which begin with '-', eventual C keywords "unsigned" or
+  "volatile", type or "struct <NamE>", element name. This leads to a struct
+  element which is taken into respect in some class methods. Depending on the
+  options in this line, some element methods <Classnname>_<func>_<element>()
+  may get generated.
+
+- End of class. A single '@' marks the end of the element list and brings
+  input back to class level. I.e. next is expected another class name or
+  "@@@" or EOF at stdin.
+
+Input semantics:
+
+A class can have one of two roles:
+
+- Standalone class.
+  Input example:
+    my_class
+
+- Listable class, which has pointers to peer instances: .prev and .next
+  Such classes get a list destructor <Classname>_destroy_all() which destroys
+  all members of a list (which is given by any of the list members).
+  Such a class should have a pointer *boss as first element in which case
+  the constructor will look like
+    <Classname>_new(struct <ClassnamE> **o,struct <Some_clasS> *boss,int flag);
+  There is a function <Classname>_link() which inserts an instance into a list
+  and a function <Classname>_count() which tells the number of list members.
+  For pseudo random access there is function <Classname>_by_idx().
+  Input example:
+    -l my_class
+
+
+A modifier is defined for classes:
+
+- Bossless. Disables a special boss-subordinate relationship which is created
+  if the first element of a class is a struct pointer with the name "boss".
+  Like
+    -l <classname>
+    -v struct Some_clasS *boss
+  Normally such a parameter *boss becomes part of the constructor method
+    <Classname>_new(struct <ClassnamE> **o, struct Some_clasS *boss, int flag);
+  This relationship is typical for a listable class and a single class which
+  is designed to host instances of that listable class. Therefore one gets a
+  warning if a listable class does not begin with a struct pointer *boss.
+  But if -b is given, then CgeN ill not include a parameter *boss into the
+  constructor. It will rather look normal:
+    <Classname>_new(struct <ClassnamE> **o, int flag);
+  It will not warn if the first element of a listable class is not struct
+  pointer *boss.
+
+
+Elements have one of the following roles:
+
+- Value. It provides only storage for a C data type (which may be a C pointer
+  despite the role name "value"), a getter method <Classname>_<element>_get(),
+  and a setter method <Classname>_<element>_set().
+  Input examples:
+    -v int i
+    -v int a[100]
+    -v char *cpt
+    -v struct xyz x
+    -v struct xyz *xpt
+
+- Managed. This has to be a pointer to a struct <XyZ> or to char. It will not
+  get attached to an object by the stub's code but its destructor
+  <Xyz>_destroy() will be called by <Classname>_destruct(). In case of (char *)
+  it is supposed that a non-NULL value has been allocated by malloc().
+  Managed (char *) types get a setter function <Classname>_<element>_set()
+  which allocates memory and copies the textstring from its parameter.
+  Input examples:
+    -m struct XyZ *xyzpt
+    -m char *textstring
+
+- Chainlink. A pair of prev-next-style pointers to the own class struct.
+  Function <Classname>_destruct() will unlink the affected instance and
+  put together its link partners.
+  Input example (there must always be two consequtive -c lines):
+    -c struct My_clasS *up
+    -c struct My_clasS *down
+
+- List. A pair of pointers to the struct <XyZ> of a listable class. The first
+  one <ls> holds the start of the list, the second one <eol> holds the end.
+  The getter function has an additional argument idx:
+    <Classname>_get_<ls>(struct <ClassnamE> *o, int idx, struct <XyZ> **pt,
+                         int flag)
+  idx == 0 is the start of the list, idx=1 the next element, ...
+  idx == -1 retrieves the last element of the list.
+  For insertion of list items there is provided method <Classname>_new_<ls>().
+  The inserted item is reachable via the getter function with idx == -1
+  <Classname>_destroy() instance calls <Xyz>_destroy_all(). Note that the end
+  pointer is always generated as private element (-p).
+  Input example (there must always be a -l and a -v line):
+    -l struct XyZ *list_start
+    -v struct XyZ *list_end
+
+The availability of getter method <Classname>_get_<element>(), and setter
+method <Classname>_set_<element>_set() can be controled by two modifiers:
+
+- Readonly. Only a getter method.
+  Input example
+    -r -v int broadcasted_status
+
+- Private. Neither getter nor setter method.
+  Input example
+    -p -v int private_value
+
+- Bossless listable. This marks elements which are listable objects but do not
+  expect a boss pointer in their constructor. See above: Listable class and
+  the bossless modifier for classes.
+  Input example
+    -b -l struct XyZ *list
+    -v struct XyZ *last_in_list
+
+- Initialization free. The class constructor will not initialize this element.
+  This modifier has to be used if neither NULL nor 0 are suitable
+  initialization values.
+
+Example run:
+
+  rm  class_x.c  class_x.h  class_y.c  class_y.h
+  bin/cgen <<+
+-l class_x
+-r -v struct Boss_clasS *boss
+-v int x
+-r -v struct stat stbuf
+-m struct Class_Y *y
+-m char *text
+-c struct Class_X *master
+-c struct Class_X *slave
+-b -l struct Class_X *provider
+-p -v struct Class_X *last_provider
+@
+-b -l class_y
+-r -v char providername[80]

+# libdax is the early working name for the successor software of libburn,
+# a library for writing information onto optical media, i.e. CD and DVD.
+# The current working name is libcevap, refering to various kinds of roasts in
+# Europe and Asia which share the property to be structured in smaller pieces.
+#
+# The reason for the replacement is the unclear copyright situation as well
+# as libburn's sketchy original state and the subsequential evolutionary
+# damages done by us in libburn code.
+# This does not mean libburn is shaky. Its current state just reflects the
+# virtual conflict of at least two programmer personalities and their goals.
+#
+
+#
+# Please: Nobody shall take the development of libcevap as a reason for not
+# programming an application which uses libburn.
+# libburn works now. libcevap is planned to work in future.
+#
+# libcevap will replace libburn in a controlled, application friendly way.
+# The first application of libcevap will be a libburn API wrapper which will
+# allow to perform all API calls of libburn which are proveable to work in
+# the current implementation. (Some CD stuff is not understood by us yet.
+# We will have to learn.)
+#
+# The libburn API will be frozen when libcevap has closed up to its current
+# capabilities. Nevertheless it may take profit from some of the future
+# progress in libcevap (e.g. new media types).
+# We hope that finally libcevap will have capabilities superior to libburn.
+# This will then be a reason to port applications to the libcevap API.
+#
+# Application programmers are advised to encapsulate their libburn API calls
+# in an own abstraction layer. The semantic concepts of burning will be
+# compatible between libburn and libcevap. I.e you will have a library object
+# to be started up, drives to be found and grabbed, media and their states
+# to be identified, sessions, tracks, burn options to be set, blanking,
+# formatting, and so on.
+# Data types, function calls, and quirks will be incompatible between both
+# APIs, though.

+
+ Functions to replace  malloc()  and  free() in order to get more control
+ over memory leaks or spurious errors caused by faulty usage of malloc()
+ and free(). 
+
+
+ Sourcecode provisions:
+ 
+ Use only the following macros for memory management:
+    TSOB_FELD(type,count)  creates an array of items of given type 
+    Smem_malloC()          analogue of malloc()
+    Smem_freE()            analogue of free()
+ One may #define malloc Smem_malloC resp. #define free Smem_freE 
+ but better would be to review (and often to streamline) the sourcecode
+ in respect to those two functions. 
+
+
+ Speed versus control:
+
+ In production versions, where maximum speed is required, one may undefine
+ the macro  Smem_own_functionS  in  smem.h . 
+ This causes the above macros to directly invoke malloc() and free() without
+ any speed reduction (and without any additional use).
+ Undefinitio can be done globaly by modifying smem.h or locally by defining
+  Smem_no_own_functionS  before including smem.h .
+
+ If Smem_own_functionS remains defined, then the functions
+   Smem_malloc() 
+   Smem_free()
+ are used rather than malloc() and free().
+ They count the number of calls to maintain a rough overview of memory usage.
+ Smem_malloc() additionally checks for 0 size and Smem_free() checks for
+ NULL pointers, which they both report to stderr. Eventually one should set
+ a breakpoint in function Smem_protest() to learn about the origin of such
+ messages.
+ A status line may be obtained by  Smem_report()  or printed by Smem_stderr().
+
+ As long as the variable Smem_record_itemS is set to 0, there is not very much
+ overhead compared with malloc() and free().
+ If the variable is set to 1 by Smem_set_record_items() then all malloc()
+ results are kept in a list where they will be deleted by their corresponding
+ Smem_free() calls. If a pointer is to be freed, which is not recorded in the
+ list then an error message will be printed to stderr. The memory will not
+ be freed !
+ This mode not only may be very slow, it also consumes at least 16 byte per
+ piece of data which was obtained by malloc as long as it has not been freed.
+ Due to the current nature of the list, large numbers of memory items are freed
+ much faster in the reverse order of their creation. If there is a list of
+ 100000 strings to delete, it is very rewarding to free the youngest ones first.
+ A shortcut via hashing is available but consumes 24 bytes rather than 16.
+ (see above  Smem_with_hasH  )
+
+ The function Smem_is_recorded() can be used to check wether a pointer is
+ valid according to the list. It returns :
+   0 = is not in list , 1 = is in list , 2 = recording is off 
+
+ If one decides to start recording malloc() results in the midst of a program
+ run, one has to be aware of false protests of Smem_free() if a memory piece
+ has been allocated before recording started. This will also cause those pieces
+ to be memory leaks because Smem_free() refuses to delete them. (Freeing memory
+ that was not obtained by malloc or was already freed previously can result in
+ deferred SIGSEGV or similar trouble, depending on OS and library.)
+ Also in that case one should stop recording before ending the program, to
+ avoid a lot of false complaints about longliving memory objects.
