+
+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 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
+
+DVD-RW are usable if formatted to state "Restricted Overwrite". They then
+behave much like DVD+RW. See above.
+DVD-RW in state "Sequential" have first to be formatted by
+  cdrskin dev=... -v blank=format_overwrite
+"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.
+(Command  dvd+rw-format -force  can achieve "Restricted Overwrite".)
+  
+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 or dvd+rw-format. Perils of DVD-RW, i fear.
+
+There are three 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.
+
+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.

+.SH NAME
+cdrskin \- burns preformatted data to CD-R, CD-RW, DVD+/-RW, DVD-RAM
+via libburn.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B cdrskin
+.RI [ options | track_source_addresses ]
+.br
+.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 for now. 
+You do not need to be superuser for its daily usage.
+.PP
+.B Overview of features:
+.br
+Blanking of CD-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
+Bus scan, burnfree, speed options, retrieving media info, padding, fifo.
+.br
+Burning of a single data track to DVD+RW, DVD-RW or DVD-RAM.
+.br
+See section EXAMPLES at the end of this text.
+.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
+CDs 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.
+.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 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.
+.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 Recordable DVD Media:
+.br
+Currently only types DVD+RW, DVD-RW and DVD-RAM can be burned 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.
+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.
+.br
+DVD-RW need to be formatted to state "Restricted Overwrite". Then they behave
+much like DVD+RW. This formatting can be done by option
+.B blank=format_overwrite
+It is necessary for unused media, for media written or blanked by cdrecord,
+for media which have been written unformatted by growisofs or blanked by
+dvd+rw-format -blank. 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 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).

+.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.
+.TP 
+.BI blank= type
+Blank a CD-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.
+.TP
+fast
+Minimally blank an entire CD.
+.TP
+format_overwrite
+Format a DVD-RW to "Restricted Overwrite". The user should bring some patience.
+(Note: 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
+For DVD+RW this is the only supported explicit formatting type. It provides
+complete "de-icing" so no reader slips on unwritten data areas.
+.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 disk in Session 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=burnfree" to enable the drive's eventual protection mechanism
+against temporary lack of source data (i.e. buffer underrun).
+It is not an error to do this with a drive that has no such capabilities.
+.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 drive
+in a particular write mode. Blanking is prevented reliably, though.
+.TP
+.BI \-eject
+Eject the disk 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 with blank=format_* to enforce re-formatting of media
+which appear to be sufficiently formatted already.
+.br
+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 besides 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 appendable after the current session has been written.
+Without it the disk gets closed and may not be written any more  - unless it
+is a CD-RW and gets blanked which causes loss of its content.
+.br
+The following sessions can only be written in -tao mode.
+.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 disk 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 disk in Session At Once mode. This mode is able to put several audio
+tracks on CD without producing audible gaps between them. It 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=.
+.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 kB/s. 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 disk in Track At Once (TAO) mode. This mode 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 CD which
+already hold data.
+.TP
+.BI \-toc
+Print the table of content (TOC) which describes the tracks recorded on CD.
+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 CD 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 \--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
+has to be enabled by driveropts=burnfree.
+.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 \--single_track
+Accept only the last argument of the command line as track source address.
+.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 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 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. 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.
+.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.
+This is the fallback from bad old times when cdrskin was unable to burn
+in mode -tao.

-@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.
