-Installation Instructions
-*************************

-2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
-
-This file is free documentation; the Free Software Foundation gives
-unlimited permission to copy, distribute and modify it.
-
-Basic Installation
-==================
-
-Briefly, the shell commands `./configure; make; make install' should
-configure, build, and install this package.  The following
-more-detailed instructions are generic; see the `README' file for
-instructions specific to this package.
-
-   The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
-various system-dependent variables used during compilation.  It uses
-those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package.
-It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent
-definitions.  Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that
-you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, and a
-file `config.log' containing compiler output (useful mainly for
-debugging `configure').
-
-   It can also use an optional file (typically called `config.cache'
-and enabled with `--cache-file=config.cache' or simply `-C') that saves
-the results of its tests to speed up reconfiguring.  Caching is
-disabled by default to prevent problems with accidental use of stale
-cache files.
-
-   If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try
-to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail
-diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can
-be considered for the next release.  If you are using the cache, and at
-some point `config.cache' contains results you don't want to keep, you
-may remove or edit it.
-
-   The file `configure.ac' (or `configure.in') is used to create
-`configure' by a program called `autoconf'.  You need `configure.ac' if
-you want to change it or regenerate `configure' using a newer version
-of `autoconf'.
-
-The simplest way to compile this package is:
-
-  1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
-     `./configure' to configure the package for your system.
-
-     Running `configure' might take a while.  While running, it prints
-     some messages telling which features it is checking for.
-
-  2. Type `make' to compile the package.
-
-  3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with
-     the package.
-
-  4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
-     documentation.
-
-  5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
-     source code directory by typing `make clean'.  To also remove the
-     files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for
-     a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'.  There is
-     also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly
-     for the package's developers.  If you use it, you may have to get
-     all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came
-     with the distribution.
-
-Compilers and Options
-=====================
-
-Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that the
-`configure' script does not know about.  Run `./configure --help' for
-details on some of the pertinent environment variables.
-
-   You can give `configure' initial values for configuration parameters
-by setting variables in the command line or in the environment.  Here
-is an example:
-
-     ./configure CC=c99 CFLAGS=-g LIBS=-lposix
-
-   *Note Defining Variables::, for more details.
-
-Compiling For Multiple Architectures
-====================================
-
-You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the
-same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their
-own directory.  To do this, you can use GNU `make'.  `cd' to the
-directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run
-the `configure' script.  `configure' automatically checks for the
-source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'.
-
-   With a non-GNU `make', it is safer to compile the package for one
-architecture at a time in the source code directory.  After you have
-installed the package for one architecture, use `make distclean' before
-reconfiguring for another architecture.
-
-Installation Names
-==================
-
-By default, `make install' installs the package's commands under
-`/usr/local/bin', include files under `/usr/local/include', etc.  You
-can specify an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving
-`configure' the option `--prefix=PREFIX'.
-
-   You can specify separate installation prefixes for
-architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files.  If you
-pass the option `--exec-prefix=PREFIX' to `configure', the package uses
-PREFIX as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
-Documentation and other data files still use the regular prefix.
-
-   In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give
-options like `--bindir=DIR' to specify different values for particular
-kinds of files.  Run `configure --help' for a list of the directories
-you can set and what kinds of files go in them.
-
-   If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed
-with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the
-option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'.
-
-Optional Features
-=================
-
-Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to
-`configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package.
-They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE
-is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System).  The
-`README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the
-package recognizes.
-
-   For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually
-find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't,
-you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and
-`--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations.
-
-Specifying the System Type
-==========================
-
-There may be some features `configure' cannot figure out automatically,
-but needs to determine by the type of machine the package will run on.
-Usually, assuming the package is built to be run on the _same_
-architectures, `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints a
-message saying it cannot guess the machine type, give it the
-`--build=TYPE' option.  TYPE can either be a short name for the system
-type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name which has the form:
-
-     CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM
-
-where SYSTEM can have one of these forms:
-
-     OS KERNEL-OS
-
-   See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field.  If
-`config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't
-need to know the machine type.
-
-   If you are _building_ compiler tools for cross-compiling, you should
-use the option `--target=TYPE' to select the type of system they will
-produce code for.
-
-   If you want to _use_ a cross compiler, that generates code for a
-platform different from the build platform, you should specify the
-"host" platform (i.e., that on which the generated programs will
-eventually be run) with `--host=TYPE'.
-
-Sharing Defaults
-================
-
-If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share, you
-can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives default
-values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'.
-`configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then
-`PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists.  Or, you can set the
-`CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script.
-A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script.
-
-Defining Variables
-==================
-
-Variables not defined in a site shell script can be set in the
-environment passed to `configure'.  However, some packages may run
-configure again during the build, and the customized values of these
-variables may be lost.  In order to avoid this problem, you should set
-them in the `configure' command line, using `VAR=value'.  For example:
-
-     ./configure CC=/usr/local2/bin/gcc
-
-causes the specified `gcc' to be used as the C compiler (unless it is
-overridden in the site shell script).
-
-Unfortunately, this technique does not work for `CONFIG_SHELL' due to
-an Autoconf bug.  Until the bug is fixed you can use this workaround:
-
-     CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash /bin/bash ./configure CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash
-
-`configure' Invocation
-======================
-
-`configure' recognizes the following options to control how it operates.
-
-`--help'
-`-h'
-     Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit.
-
-`--version'
-`-V'
-     Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure'
-     script, and exit.
-
-`--cache-file=FILE'
-     Enable the cache: use and save the results of the tests in FILE,
-     traditionally `config.cache'.  FILE defaults to `/dev/null' to
-     disable caching.
-
-`--config-cache'
-`-C'
-     Alias for `--cache-file=config.cache'.
-
-`--quiet'
-`--silent'
-`-q'
-     Do not print messages saying which checks are being made.  To
-     suppress all normal output, redirect it to `/dev/null' (any error
-     messages will still be shown).
-
-`--srcdir=DIR'
-     Look for the package's source code in directory DIR.  Usually
-     `configure' can determine that directory automatically.
-
-`configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options.  Run
-`configure --help' for more details.

-                             DVD+RW and DVD-RAM
-
-DVD+RW and DVD-RAM media get treated as blank media regardless wether they
-hold data or not. Options -audio and -multi are not allowed. Only one track
-is allowed. -toc does not return information about the media content.
-Speed is counted in DVD units (i.e. 1x = 1,385,000 bytes/second). Currently
-there is no difference between -sao and -tao. If ever, then -tao will be the
-mode which preserves the current behavior.
-
-For these media, -msinfo alone would not be enough to perform appending of an
-ISO filesystem. The filesystem driver will need a hint to find the start of the
-most recent session. For example put an ISO filesystem at address 1 GB:
-  mkisofs -C 0,524288 ... | \
-  cdrskin dev=/dev/sr0 -v fs=32m -eject speed=4 write_start_address=524288s -
-The superuser may then do:
-  mount -t iso9660 -o ro,sbsector=524288 /dev/sr0 /mnt
-Note: On my linux-2.4.21-215 mount works only with sbsector <= 337920 (660 MB).
-To extend a filesystem already existing at address 0
-  mkisofs -C 0,524288 -M /dev/sr0 ... | cdrskin dev=/dev/sr0 ...
-Record the number 524288 for usage as first number with -C at the next
-extension:
-  mkisofs -C 524288,1000000 ... | cdrskin write_start_address=1000000s ...
-
-Program growisofs can append to an ISO filesystem on DVD+RW by additionally
-manipulating the first session. cdrskin does not want to get involved so deep
-into the format of the burned data. Be advised to use growisofs for the
-task of maintaining extendable ISO-Filesystems on DVD+RW. 
-
-
-                               DVD-RW and DVD-R
-
-DVD-RW are usable if formatted to state "Restricted Overwrite" or if in state
-"Sequential Recording". DVD-R are always in sequential state.
-
-"Sequential" is the state of unused media and of media previously blanked
-or written by cdrecord. dvd+rw-format -blank can also achieve this state.
-The according cdrskin option is blank=deformat_sequential .
-If "Incremental Streaming" is available, then sequential media are capable
-of multi-session like CD-R[W]. (But not capable of -audio recording.)
-This means they need option -multi to stay appendable, need to be blanked
-to be writeable from start, return useable info with -toc and -msinfo,
-eventually perform appending automatically.
-Without "Incremental Streaming" offered by the drive, only write mode DAO is
-available with sequential DVD-R[W]. It only works with blank media, allows only
-one single track, no -multi, and demands a fixely predicted track size.
-(growisofs uses it with DVD-R[W] if option -dvd-compat is given.)
- 
-Overwriteable DVD-RW behave much like DVD+RW. "Restricted" refers only to the
-granularity of random access and block size which have always to be aligned to
-full 32 kB. Sequential DVD-RW are converted into overwriteable DVD-RW by
-  cdrskin dev=... -v blank=format_overwrite
-(Command  dvd+rw-format -force  can achieve "Restricted Overwrite", too.)
-
-Formatting or first use of freshly formatted DVD-RW can produce unusual noises
-from the drive and last several minutes. Depending on mutual compatibility of
-drive and media, formatting can yield unusable media. It seems that those die
-too on blanking by cdrecord, dvd+rw-format or cdrskin. Perils of DVD-RW.
-
-There are three DVD-RW formatting variants with cdrskin currently:
-
-blank=format_overwrite  uses "DVD-RW Quick" formatting (MMC-type 15h)
-and writes a first session of 128 MB. This leads to media which are expandable
-and random addressable by cdrskin.
-
-blank=format_overwrite_quickest  uses "DVD-RW Quick" formatting (type 15h) too,
-but leaves the media in "intermediate" state. In the first session of writing
-one may only write sequentially to such a DVD. After that, it gets random
-addressable by cdrskin. DVD-ROM drives might show ill behavior with them.
-
-blank=format_overwrite_full  uses preferrably "Full Format" (type 00h).
-This formatting lasts as long as writing a full DVD. It includes writing of
-lead-out which is said to be good for DVD ROM compatibility. 
-
-De-formatting options are available to make overwriteable DVD-RW sequential:
-
-blank=deformat_sequential  performs thorough blanking of all states of DVD-RW.
-blank=all and blank=fast perform the same thorough blanking, but refuse to do
-this with overwriteable DVD-RW, thus preserving their formatting. The specs
-allow minimal blanking but the resulting media on my drives offer no 
-Incremental Streaming afterwards. So blank=fast will do full blanking. 
-
-blank=deformat_sequential_quickest   is faster but might yield DAO-only media.
-
-
-                                  DVD+R 
-
-From the view of cdrskin they behave much like DVD-R. Each track gets wrapped
-into an own session, though.

-cdrskin \- burns preformatted data to CD-R[W], DVD-R[W], DVD+R[W], DVD-RAM
-via libburn.

-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.PP
-.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and
-.\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics, 
-.\" respectively.
-.PP 
-\fBcdrskin\fP is a program that provides some of cdrecord's options
-in a compatible way for CD media. With DVD it has its own ways.
-You do not need to be superuser for its daily usage.
-.PP
-.B Overview of features:
-.br
-Blanking of CD-RW and DVD-RW.
-.br
-Burning of data or audio tracks to CD,
-.br
-either in versatile Track at Once mode (TAO)
-.br
-or in Session at Once mode for seamless tracks.
-.br
-Multi session on CD (follow-up sessions in TAO only)
-.br
-or on DVD-R[W] (in Incremental mode) or on DVD+R.
-.br
-Single session on DVD-RW or DVD-R (Disk-at-once)
-.br
-or on overwriteable DVD+RW, DVD-RW, DVD-RAM.
-.br
-Bus scan, burnfree, speed options, retrieving media info, padding, fifo.
-.br
-See section EXAMPLES at the end of this text.
-.PP
-.B General information paragraphs:
-.br
-Track recording model
-.br
-Write mode selection
-.br
-Recordable CD Media
-.br
-Sequentially Recordable DVD Media
-.br
-Overwriteable DVD Media
-.br
-Drive preparation and addressing
-.PP
-.B Track recording model:
-.br
-The input-output entities which get processed are called tracks.
-A \fBtrack\fP stores a stream of bytes.
-.br
-Each track is initiated by one track source address argument, which may either
-be "-" for standard input or the address of a readable file. If no write mode
-is given explicitely then one will be chosen which matches the peculiarities
-of track sources and the state of the output media.
-.PP
-More than one track can be burned by a single run of cdrskin. 
-In the terms of the MMC standard all tracks written by the same run constitute
-a \fBsession\fP.
-.br
-Some media types can be kept appendable so that further tracks can
-be written to them in subsequent runs of cdrskin (see option -multi).
-Info about the addresses of burned tracks is kept in a table of
-content (TOC) on media and can be retrieved via cdrskin option -toc.
-These informations are also used by the operating systems' CD-ROM read drivers.
-.PP
-In general there are two types of tracks: data and audio. They differ in
-sector size, throughput and readability via the systems' CD-ROM drivers
-resp. by music CD players. With DVD there is only type data.
-.br
-If not explicitely option -audio is given, then any track is burned as type
-data, unless the track source is a file with suffix ".wav" or ".au" and has a
-header part which identifies it as MS-WAVE resp. SUN Audio with suitable
-parameters. Such files are burned as audio tracks by default.
-.PP
-While audio tracks just contain a given time span of acoustic vibrations,
-data tracks may have an arbitray meaning. Nevertheless, ISO-9660 filesystems
-are established as a format which can represent a tree of directories and
-files on all major operating systems. Such filesystem images can be
-produced by programs mkisofs or genisoimage. They can also be extended by
-follow-up tracks if prepared properly. See the man pages of said programs.
-cdrskin is able to fulfill the needs about their option -C.
-.br
-Another type of data track content are archive formats which originally
-have been developed for magnetic tapes. Only formats which mark a detectable
-end-of-archive in their data are suitable, though. Well tested are
-the archivers afio and star. Not suitable seems GNU tar.
-.PP
-.B Write mode selection:
-.br
-If none of the options -dao, -tao or -sao is given then the program will
-try to choose a write mode which matches the defined recording job,
-the capabilities of the drive and the state of the present media.
-.br
-So the mentioning of write modes in the following paragraphs and in the
-examples is not so much a demand that the user shall choose one explicitely,
-but rather an illustration of what to expect with particular media types.
-.PP
-.B Recordable CD Media:
-.br
-CD-R can be initially written only once and eventually extended until they
-get closed (or are spoiled because they are overly full). After that they are
-read-only. Closing is done automatically unless option
-.B -multi
-is given which keeps the media appendable.
-.br
-There are two write modes,
-.B -tao
-and
-.B -sao .
-.br
-tao allows to use track source of unpredictable length (like stdin) and allows
-to write further sessions to appendable media. -sao produces audio sessions
-with seamless tracks but needs predicted track sizes and cannot append sessions
-to media.
-.br
-CD-RW media can be blanked to make them re-usable for another
-round of overwriting. Usually
-.B blank=fast
-is the appropriate option.
-Blanking damages the previous content but does not
-make it completely unreadable. It is no effective privacy precaution.
-Multiple cycles of blanking and overwriting with random numbers might be.
-.PP
-.B Sequentially Recordable DVD Media:
-.br
-Currently DVD-RW, DVD-R and DVD+R can be used for the Sequential recording
-model.
-.br
-DVD-RW must be in state "Sequential Recording".
-The media must be either blank or appendable.
-Newly purchased DVD-RW and DVD-R media are in this state.
-Used DVD-RW get into blank sequential state by option
-.B blank=deformat_sequential .
-.br
-With DVD-R[W] two write modes may be available:
-.br
-Mode DAO has many restrictions. It does not work with
-appendable media, allows no -multi and only a single track. The size of the
-track needs to be known in advance. So either its source has to be a disk file
-of recognizable size or the size has to be announced explicitely by options
-.B tsize= 
-or
-.B tao_to_sao_tsize= .
-.br
-DAO is the only mode for media which do not offer feature 21h Incremental
-Streaming. DAO may also be selected explicitely by option
-.B -sao .
-Program growisofs uses DAO on sequential DVD-R[W] media for maximum
-DVD-ROM/-Video compatibility.
-.br
-The other mode, Incremental Streaming, is the default write mode if
-it is available and if the restrictions of DAO would prevent the job.
-Incremental Streaming may be selected explicitely by option
-.B -tao
-as it resembles much CD TAO by allowing track sources of
-unpredicted length and to keep media appendable by option
-.B -multi .
-The only restriction towards CD-R[W] is the lack of support for -audio tracks.
-Multiple tracks per session are permissible.
-.br
-The write modes for DVD+R resemble those with DVD-R except that with DVD+R
-each track gets wrapped in an own session. There is no -dummy writing with
-DVD+R.
-.br
-Quite deliberately write mode -sao insists in the tradition of a predicted
-track size and blank media, whereas -tao writes the tracks open ended and
-allows appendable media.
-.br
-Currently DVD+R are always kept appendable regardless wether -multi is given
-or not. This might change in future so it is strongly advised to already now
-use
-.B -multi
-whenever the disc shall be kept appendable.
-.PP
-.B Overwriteable DVD Media:
-.br
-Currently types DVD+RW, DVD-RW and DVD-RAM can be overwritten via cdrskin.
-.br
-DVD+RW and DVD-RAM media get treated as blank media regardless wether they
-hold data or not. They need no special initial formatting.
-Options -audio and -multi are not allowed. Only one track is allowed.
-toc does not return information about the media content.
-Currently there is no difference between -sao and -tao. If ever, then -tao
-will be the mode which preserves the current behavior.
-.br
-DVD-RW are sold in state "Sequential Recording". To become suitable for the
-Overwriteable DVD recording model they need to get formatted to state
-"Restricted Overwrite". Then they behave much like DVD+RW. This formatting
-can be done by option
-.B blank=format_overwrite .
-.br
-Several programs like dvd+rw-format, cdrecord, wodim, or cdrskin
-can bring a DVD-RW out of overwriteable state so
-that it has to be formatted again. If in doubt, just give it a try.
-.PP
-.B Drive preparation and addressing:
-.br
-The drives, either CD burners or DVD burners, are accessed via addresses which
-are specific to libburn and the operating system. Those addresses get listed
-by a run of \fBcdrskin --devices\fP.
-.br
-On Linux, they are device files which traditionally do not offer
-w-permissions for normal users. Because libburn needs rw-permission,
-it might be only the
-.B superuser
-who is able to get this list without further
-precautions.
-.br
-It is consensus that \fBchmod a+rw /dev/sg0\fP or \fBchmod a+rw /dev/hdc\fP
-is less security sensitive than chmod u+s /usr/bin/cdrskin. The risk for the
-drive is somewhat higher but the overall system is much less at stake.
-.br
-.PP
-If you only got one CD capable drive then you may leave out cdrskin option
-\fBdev=\fP. Else you should use this option to address the drive you want.
-.br
-cdrskin option dev= not only accepts the listed addresses but also
-traditional cdrecord SCSI addresses which on Linux consist of three
-numbers: Bus,Target,Lun. There is also a related address family "ATA" which
-accesses IDE drives not under control of Linux SCSI drivers:
-ATA:Bus,Target,Lun.
-.br
-See option -scanbus for getting a list of cdrecord style addresses.
-.br
-Further are accepted on Linux: links to libburn-suitable device files, 
-device files which have the same major and minor device number,
-and device files which have the same SCSI address parameters (e.g. /dev/sr0).
-.br
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-.BI \-\-help
-Show non-cdrecord compatible options.
-.TP
-.BI \-help
-Show cdrecord compatible options.
-.TP
-.BI \-version
-Print cdrskin id line, compatibility lure line, libburn version, cdrskin
-version, version timestamp, build timestamp (if available), and then exit.
-.PP
-Alphabetical list of options which are intended to be compatible with
-original cdrecord by Joerg Schilling:
-.TP
-.BI \-atip
-Retrieve some info about media state. With CD-RW print "Is erasable".
-With DVD media print "book type:" and a media type text.
-.TP 
-.BI \-audio
-Announces that the subsequent tracks are to be burned as audio.
-The source is supposed to be uncompressed headerless PCM, 44100 Hz, 16 bit,
-stereo. For little-endian byte order (which is usual on PCs) use option
-swab. Unless marked explicitely by option -data, input files with suffix
-.wav are examined wether they have a header in MS-WAVE format confirming
-those parameters and eventually raw audio data get extracted and burned as
-audio track. Same is done for suffix .au and SUN Audio.
-.br
-Option -audio may be used only with CD media and not with DVD.
-.TP 
-.BI blank= type
-Blank a CD-RW, a DVD-RW, or format a DVD+/-RW.
-This is combinable with burning in the same run of cdrskin.
-The type given with blank= selects the particular behavior:
-.RS
-.TP
-help
-Print this list of blanking types.
-.TP
-all
-Blank an entire CD-RW or an unformatted DVD-RW.
-(See also --prodvd_cli_compatible)
-.TP
-fast
-Minimally blank an entire CD-RW or blank an unformatted DVD-RW.
-(See also --prodvd_cli_compatible)
-.TP
-format_overwrite
-Format a DVD-RW to "Restricted Overwrite". The user should bring some patience.
-.br
-(Note: blank=format_overwrite* are not original cdrecord options.)
-.TP
-format_overwrite_quickest
-Like format_overwrite without creating a 128 MB trailblazer session.
-Leads to "intermediate" state which only allows sequential write
-beginning from address 0.
-The "intermediate" state ends after the first session of writing data.
-.TP
-format_overwrite_full
-For DVD-RW this is like format_overwrite but claims full media size
-rather than just 128 MB.
-Most traditional formatting is attempted. No data get written. 
-Much patience is required.
-.br
-This option treats already formatted media even if not option -force is given.
-.br
-For DVD+RW this is the only supported explicit formatting type. It provides
-complete "de-icing" so no reader slips on unwritten data areas.
-.TP
-deformat_sequential
-Like blank=all but with the additional ability to blank overwriteable DVD-RW.
-This will destroy their formatting and make them sequentially recordable. 
-Another peculiarity is the ability to blank media which appear already blank.
-This is similar to option -force but does not try to blank media other than
-recognizable CD-RW and DVD-RW.
-.br
-(Note: blank=deformat_sequential* are not original cdrecord options.)
-.TP
-deformat_sequential_quickest
-Like blank=deformat_sequential but blanking DVD-RW only minimally.
-This is faster than full blanking but may yield media incapable of
-Incremental Streaming (-tao).
-.RE
-.TP
-.BI \-checkdrive
-Retrieve some info about the addressed drive.
-Exits with non-zero value if the drive cannot be found and opened.
-.TP
-.BI \-dao
-Alias for option -sao. Write CD in Session at Once mode
-or DVD-R[W] in Disc-at-once mode.
-.TP
-.BI \-data
-Subsequent tracks are data tracks. This option is default and only needed
-to mark the end of the range of an eventual option -audio.
-.TP
-.BI dev= target
-Set the address of the drive to use. Valid are at least the
-addresses listed with option --devices, 
-X,Y,Z addresses listed with option -scanbus,
-ATA:X,Y,Z addresses listed with options dev=ATA -scanbus,
-and volatile libburn drive numbers (numbering starts at "0").
-Other device file addresses which lead to the same drive might work too.
-.br
-If no dev= is given, volatile address "dev=0" is assumed. That is the first
-drive found being available. Better avoid this ambiguity on systems with more
-than one drive.
-.br
-The special target "help" lists hints about available addressing formats.
-Be aware that deprecated option --old_pseudo_scsi_adr may change the meaning
-of Bus,Target,Lun addresses.
-.TP
-.BI driveropts= opt
-Set "driveropts=noburnfree" to disable the drive's eventual protection
-mechanism against temporary lack of source data (i.e. buffer underrun).
-A drive that announces no such capabilities will not get them enabled anyway,
-even if attempted explicitely via "driveropts=burnfree".
-.TP
-.BI \-dummy
-Try to perform the drive operations without actually affecting the inserted
-media. There is no guarantee that this will work with a particular combination
-of drive, media, and write mode. Blanking is prevented reliably, though.
-.TP
-.BI \-eject
-Eject the disc after work is done.
-.TP
-.BI \-force
-Assume that the user knows better in situations when cdrskin or libburn are
-insecure about drive or media state. This includes the attempt to blank
-media which are classified as unknown or unsuitable, and the attempt to use
-write modes which libburn believes they are not supported by the drive.
-.br
-Another application is to enforce blanking or re-formatting of media
-which appear to be in the desired blank or format state already.
-.br
-.B Caution:
-Use this only when in urgent need.
-.TP
-.BI fs= size
-Set the fifo size to the given value. The value may have appended letters which
-multiply the preceding number:
-.br
-"k" or "K" = 1024 , "m" or "M" = 1024k , "g" or "G" = 1024m , "s" or "S" = 2048
-.br
-Set size to 0 in order to disable the fifo (default is "4m").
-.br
-The fifo buffers an eventual temporary surplus of track source data in order to
-provide the drive with a steady stream during times of temporary lack of track
-source supply.
-The larger the fifo, the longer periods of poor source supply can be
-compensated.
-But a large fifo needs substantial time to fill up if not curbed via
-option fifo_start_at=size.
-.TP
-.BI gracetime= seconds
-Set the grace time before starting to write. (Default is 0)
-.TP
-.BI msifile= path
-Run option -msinfo and copy the result line into the file given by path.
-Unlike -msinfo this option does not redirect all normal output away from
-standard output. But it may be combined with -msinfo to achieve this.
-.br
-Note: msifile=path is actually an option of wodim and not of cdrecord.
-.TP
-.BI \-msinfo
-Retrieve multi-session info for preparing a follow-up session by option -C
-of programs mkisofs or genisoimage. Print result to standard output.
-This option redirects to stderr all message output except the one of option
--tell_media_space and its own result string, which consists of two numbers.
-The result string shall be used as argument of option -C with said programs.
-It gives the start address of the most recent session and the predicted
-start address of the next session to be appended. The string is empty if
-the most recent session was not written with option -multi.
-.TP
-.BI \-multi
-This option keeps the CD or unformatted DVD-R[W] appendable after the current
-session has been written.
-Without it the disc gets closed and may not be written any more  - unless it
-is a -RW and gets blanked which causes loss of its content.
-.br
-The following sessions can only be written in -tao mode. -multi is prohibited
-with overwriteable DVD media and with DVD-R[W] DAO write mode.
-Option --prodvd_cli_compatible eventually makes -multi tolerable but cannot
-make it work.
-.br
-In order to have all filesystem content accessible, the eventual ISO-9660
-filesystem of a follow-up
-session needs to be prepared in a special way by the filesystem formatter
-program. mkisofs and genisoimage expect particular info about the situation
-which can be retrieved by cdrskin option -msinfo.
-.br
-To retrieve an archive file which was written as follow-up session,
-you may use option -toc to learn about the "lba" of the desired track number. 
-.TP
-.BI \-nopad
-Do not add trailing zeros to the data stream. Nevertheless, since there seems
-to be no use for audio tracks with incomplete last sector, this option applies
-only to data tracks. There it is default.
-.TP
-.BI \-pad
-Add 30 kB of trailing zeros to each data track. (This is not sufficient to
-avoid problems with various CD-ROM read drivers.)
-.TP
-.BI padsize= size
-Add the given amount of trailing zeros to the next data track. This option
-gets reset to padsize=0 after that next track is written. It may be set
-again before the next track argument. About size specifiers, see option fs=.
-.TP
-.BI \-raw96r
-Write CD in RAW/RAW96R mode. This mode allows to put more payload bytes
-into a CD sector but obviously at the cost of error correction. It can only
-be used for tracks of fixely predicted size. Some drives allow this mode but
-then behave strange or even go bad for the next few attempts to burn a CD.
-One should use it only if inavoidable.
-.TP
-.BI \-sao
-Write CD in Session At Once mode, a sequential DVD-R[W] in Disc-at-once
-(DAO) mode, or a DVD+R.
-.br
-With CD this mode is able to put several audio tracks on media without
-producing audible gaps between them.
-.br
-With DVD-R[W] this mode can only write a single track.
-No -multi is allowed with DVD-R[W] -sao.
-.br
-sao is permissible with overwriteable DVD and with DVD+R but actually only
-imposes restrictions without providing known advantages. 
-.br
-sao can only be used for tracks of fixely predicted size. This implies that
-track arguments which depict stdin or named pipes need to be preceeded by
-option tsize= or by option tao_to_sao_tsize=.
-.br
-sao cannot be used on appendable media.
-.TP
-.BI \-scanbus
-Scan the system for drives. On Linux the drives at /dev/s* and at /dev/hd*
-are to be scanned by two separate runs. One without dev= for /dev/s* and
-one with dev=ATA for /dev/hd* devices. (Option --drives lists all available
-drives in a single run.)
-.br
-Drives which are busy or which offer no rw-permission to the user of cdrskin
-are not listed. Busy drives get reported in form of warning messages.
-.br
-The useful fields in a result line are:
-.br
-Bus,Target,Lun Number) 'Vendor' 'Mode' 'Revision'
-.TP
-.BI speed= number
-Set speed of drive. With data CD, 1x speed corresponds to a throughput of
-150,000 bytes/second. With DVD, 1x = 1,385,000 bytes/second.
-It is not an error to set a speed higher than is suitable for drive
-and media. One should stay within a realistic speed range, though.
-.TP
-.BI \-swab
-Announce that the raw audio data source of subsequent tracks is byte swapped
-versus the expectations of cdrecord. This option is suitable for audio where
-the least significant byte of a 16 bit word is first (little-endian, Intel).
-Most raw audio data on PC systems are available in this byte order.
-Less guesswork is needed if track sources are in format MS-WAVE in a file with
-suffix ".wav".
-.TP
-.BI \-tao
-Write CD in Track At Once (TAO) mode, sequential DVD-R[W] in Incremental
-Streaming mode, or DVD+R without traditional -sao restrictions.
-This mode also applies pro-forma to overwriteable DVD media.
-.br
-Mode -tao can be used with track sources of unpredictable size, like standard
-input or named pipes. It is also the only mode that can be used for writing
-to appendable media which already hold data. With unformatted DVD-R[W] it is
-the only mode which allows -multi.
-.TP
-.BI \-toc
-Print the table of content (TOC) which describes the tracks recorded on disc.
-The output contains all info from option -atip plus lines which begin with
-"track:", the track number, the word "lba:" and a number which gives the
-start address of the track. Addresses are counted in CD sectors which with
-SAO or TAO data tracks hold 2048 bytes each.
-.RS
-.TP
-Example. Retrieve an afio archive from track number 2:
-.br
-tracknumber=2
-.br
-lba=$(cdrskin dev=/dev/cdrom -toc 2>&1 | \\
-.br
-grep '^track:[ ]*[ 0-9][0-9]' | \\
-.br
-tail +"$tracknumber" | head -1 | \\
-.br
-awk '{ print $4}' )
-.br
-dd if=/dev/cdrom bs=2048 skip="$lba" | \\
-.br
-afio -t - | less
-.RE
-.TP
-.BI tsize= size
-Announces the exact size of the next track source. This is necessary with any
-write mode other than -tao if the track source is not a regular disk file, but
-e.g. "-" (standard input) or a named pipe.
-About size specifiers, see option fs=.
-.br
-If the track source does not deliver the predicted amount of bytes, the
-remainder of the track is padded with zeros. This is not considered an error.
-If on the other hand the track source delivers more than the announced bytes
-then the track on media gets truncated to the predicted size and cdrskin exits
-with non-zero value.
-.TP
-.BI \-v
-Increment verbose level by one. Startlevel is 0 with only few messages.
-Level 1 prints progress report with long running operations and also causes
-some extra lines to be put out with info retrieval options. 
-Level 2 additionally reports about option settings derived from arguments or
-startup files. Level 3 is for debugging and useful mainly in conjunction with
-somebody who had a look into the program sourcecode.
-.PP
-Alphabetical list of options which are genuine to cdrskin and intended for
-normal use:
-.TP
-.BI \--allow_setuid
-Disable the loud warning about insecure discrepance between login user and
-effective user which indicates application of chmod u+s to the program binary.
-One should not do this chmod u+s , but it is an old cdrecord tradition.
-.TP
-.BI \--any_track
-Allow source_addresses to begin with "-" (plus further characters) or to
-contain a "=" character.
-By default such arguments are seen as misspelled options. It is nevertheless
-not possible to use one of the options listed with --list_ignored_options.
-.TP
-.BI assert_write_lba= block_number | byte_address
-Abort if the write address given with this option is not the same as predicted
-immediately before the write session starts. This option can ensure that a
-start address which was presumed by a formatter like mkisofs -C is really used
-by the drive for writing.
-assert_write_lba=0 effectively demands blank media and excludes appendables.
-.br
-Block numbering is peculiar: If the last character of the option string is
-a letter [a-zA-Z] then the usual unit scaling by "s", "k", "m", etc. applies
-and the result is divided by 2048. Else the number value of the string is
-taken as plain block number with block size 2048 byte.
-(E.g ...=1000 or ...=1000s means block 1000, ...=1m means block
-512, ...=4096b means block number 2)
-.TP
-.BI \--demand_a_drive
-Exit with a nonzero value if no drive can be found during a bus scan.
-.TP
-.BI \--devices
-List the device file addresses of all accessible CD drives. In order to get
-listed, a drive has to offer rw-permission for the cdrskin user and it may
-not be busy. The superuser should be able to see all idle drives listed and 
-busy drives reported as "SORRY" messages.
-.br
-Each available drive gets listed by a line containing the following fields:
-.br
-Number dev='Devicefile' rw-Permissions : 'Vendor' 'Model'
-.br
-Number and Devicefile can both be used with option dev=, but number is
-volatile (numbering changes if drives become busy).
-.TP
-.BI fifo_start_at= size
-Do not wait for full fifo but start burning as soon as the given number
-of bytes is read. This option may be helpful to bring the average throughput
-near to the maximum throughput of a drive. A large fs= and a small 
-fifo_start_at= combine a quick burn start and a large savings buffer to
-compensate for temporary lack of source data. At the beginning of burning,
-the software protection against buffer underun is as weak as the size of
-fifo_start_at= . So it is best if the drive offers hardware protection which
-is enabled automatically if not driveropts=noburnfree is given.
-.TP
-.BI \--list_ignored_options
-List all ignored cdrecord options. The "-" options cannot be used as addresses
-of track sources. No track source address may begin with a text equal to an
-option which ends by "=". The list is ended by an empty line.
-.TP
-.BI \--no_rc
-Only if used as first command line argument this option prevents reading and
-interpretation of eventual startup files. See section FILES below.
-.TP
-.BI \--prodvd_cli_compatible
-Activates behavior modifications with some DVD situations which bring cdrskin
-nearer to the behavior of cdrecord-ProDVD:
-.br
-Option -multi with unsuitable media is not an error but simply has no effect.
-.br
-Options blank=fast and blank=all deformat overwriteable DVD-RW media.
-.br
-Option blank=fast does indeed minmal blanking with DVD-RW. This may yield media
-which can only do DAO but not Incremental Streaming.
-.TP
-.BI \--single_track
-Accept only the last argument of the command line as track source address.
-.TP
-.BI tao_to_sao_tsize= size
-Set an exact fixed size for the next track to be in effect only if the track
-source cannot deliver a size prediction and no tsize= was specified and an
-exact track size prediction is demanded by the write mode.
-.br
-This was the fallback from bad old times when cdrskin was unable to burn
-in mode -tao . It came back with minimally blanked DVD-RW which allow no
-Incremental Streaming (-tao) resp. with explicitly selected write mode -sao
-for best DVD-ROM compatibility.
-.br
-If the track source delivers less bytes than announced then the missing ones
-will be filled with zeros.
-.TP 
-.BI --tell_media_space
-Prepare a recording session, do not perform it but rather inquire the
-maximum number of 2048 byte data blocks which may be written in
-the current state of media with the prepared setup. So this option disables
-recording of data. It does allow blanking, though, and will measure space
-afterwards.
-.br
-It is not mandatory to give track sources but their nature may influence
-the available capacity. So for most realistic results one may set up
-the full burn session and add --tell_media_space. But if one has to expect
-a cdrskin version prior to 0.3.3 no track source should be given in order
-not to start an involuntary burn session.
-In this case set at least -sao or -tao explicitely.
-.br
-The result gets printed to standard output. It is 0 or empty if no writing
-is possible with the given options.
-This option redirects to stderr all message output except its own result
-string and eventual output of -msinfo.
-.TP 
-.BI write_start_address= byte_offset
-Set the address on media where to start writing the track. With DVD+RW or
-DVD-RAM byte_offset must be aligned to 2 KB blocks, but better is 32 kB.
-With DVD-RW 32 kB alignment is mandatory.
-.br
-Other media are not suitable for this option yet.
-.PP
-Alphabetical list of options which are only intended for very special
-situations and not for  normal use:
-.TP
-.BI \--abort_handler
-Establish default signal handling not to leave a drive in busy state
-but rather to shut it down and to wait until it has ended the final operations.
-This option is only needed for revoking eventual --ignore_signals or
--no_abort_handler.
-.TP
-.BI \--allow_untested_media
-Enable the use of media profiles which have been implemented but not yet
-tested. Currently this applies to :
-.br
-Profile 0015h , DVD-R/DL Sequential (will not allow -multi).
-.br
-Profile 002Bh , DVD+R/DL.
-.br
-If you really test such media, then please report the outcome on
-libburn-hackers@pykix.org 
-.TP
-.BI dev_translation= <sep><from><sep><to>
-Set drive address alias. This was necessary before cdrskin-0.2.4 to manually
-translate cdrecord addresses into cdrskin addresses.
-.br
-<sep> is a single character which may not occur in the address string
-<from>. <from> is an address as expected to be given by the user via option
-dev=. <to> is the address to be used instead whenever <from> is given.
-More than one translation instruction can be given in one cdrskin run.
-.br
-E.g.: dev_translation=+ATA:1,0,0+/dev/sg1 dev_translation=+ATA:1,1,0+/dev/sg2
-.TP
-.BI \--drive_abort_on_busy
-Linux specific: Abort process if a busy drive is encountered.
-.TP
-.BI \--drive_blocking
-Linux specific: Try to wait for a busy drive to become free.
-This is not guaranteed to work with all drivers. Some need nonblocking i/o.
-.TP
-.BI \--drive_not_exclusive
-Linux specific: Do not ask the operating system to prevent opening busy drives.
-Wether this leads to senseful behavior depends on operating system and kernel.
-.TP
-.BI \--drive_scsi_exclusive
-Linux specific:
-Try to exclusively reserve device files /dev/srN, /dev/scdM, /dev/stK of drive.
-this would be helpful to protect against collisions with program growisofs.
-Regrettably on Linux kernel 2.4 with ide-scsi emulation this seems not to
-work. Wether it becomes helpful with new Linux systems has to be evaluated.
-.TP
-.BI \--fifo_disable
-Disable fifo despite any fs=.
-.TP
-.BI \--fifo_per_track
-Use a separate fifo for each track.
-.TP
-.BI \--fill_up_media
-Expand the last track of the session to occupy all remaining free space on
-the media.
-.br
-This option overrides option -multi. It will not fill up media if option -sao
-is given with CD media.
-.br
-.B Caution:
-This option might increase read compatibility with DVD-ROM drives but
-with some DVD recorders and media types it might also fail to produce readable
-media at all. "Your mileage may vary".
-.TP
-.BI grab_drive_and_wait= seconds
-Open the addressed drive, wait the given number of seconds, release the drive,
-and do normal work as indicated by the other options used. This option helps
-to explore the program behavior when faced with busy drives. Just start a
-second cdrskin with option --devices while grab_drive_and_wait= is still
-active.
-.TP
-.BI \--ignore_signals
-Try to ignore any signals rather than to abort the program. This is not a
-very good idea. You might end up waiting a very long time for cdrskin
-to finish.
-.TP
-.BI \--no_abort_handler
-On signals exit even if the drive is in busy state. This is not a very good
-idea. You might end up with a stuck drive that refuses to hand out the media.
-.TP
-.BI \--no_blank_appendable
-Refuse to blank appendable CD-RW or DVD-RW. This is a feature that was once
-builtin with libburn. No information available for what use case it was needed.
-.TP
-.BI \--no_convert_fs_adr
-Do only literal translations of dev=. This prevents cdrskin from test-opening
-device files in order to find one that matches the given dev= specifier.
-.br
-Partly Linux specific:
-Such opening is needed for Bus,Target,Lun addresses unless option
--old_pseudo_scsi_adr is given. It is also needed to resolve device file
-addresses which are not listed with cdrskin --devices but nevertheless point
-to a usable drive. (Like /dev/sr0 using the same SCSI address as /dev/sg0.)
-.TP
-.BI \--old_pseudo_scsi_adr
-Linux specific:
-Use and report literal Bus,Target,Lun addresses rather than real SCSI and
-pseudo ATA addresses. This method is outdated and was never compatible with
-original cdrecord.
-.br

+           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.
+</pre>
