|
@c This texinfo code contains the necessary info to produce a man page
|
|
@c which resembles much the version of xorriso.1 from which this code
|
|
@c was originally derived in march 2010.
|
|
@c One can produce the man page by applying the following rules:
|
|
@c The first line gets discarded.
|
|
@c Line start "@c man " will become "", the remainder is put out unaltered.
|
|
@c Lines "@*" will be converted to ".br"
|
|
@c "@c man-ignore-lines N" will discard N following lines.
|
|
@c "@c man-ignore-lines begin" discards all following lines
|
|
@c up to "@c man-ignore-lines end".
|
|
@c Line blocks of "@menu" "@end menu" will be discarded.
|
|
@c "@item word words" becomes "\fBword\fR words".
|
|
@c @b{...}, @command{...}, @dfn{...}, @emph{...}, @strong{...}
|
|
@c get mapped to \fB...\fR .
|
|
@c @abbr{...}, @code{...}, @file{...}, @i{...}, @option{...}, @r{...},
|
|
@c @ref{...}, @samp{...},@var{...}, get mapped to ... .

|
It understands some options of program cdrecord from cdrtools by
|
|
Joerg Schilling.
|
|
Its implementation is part of program xorriso which shares no source
|
|
code with cdrtools, but rather makes use of libburn for communicating
|
|
with the drive.
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
Another, more complete cdrecord emulator is program @strong{cdrskin}
|
|
which uses the same burn functions as @strong{xorrecord}, but is able
|
|
to burn audio CDs and to handle CD-TEXT.

@c man \fBMMC, Session, Track, Media types:\fR
|
|
@c man .br
|
|
@cindex MMC, _definiton
|
|
@strong{MMC}
|
|
is a standard out of the SCSI family which defines the interaction between
|
|
computers and optical drives. Since more than a decade all CD, DVD, or BD
|
|
recorders obey this standard regardless by what bus cabling they are
|
|
attached to the computer. libburn relies on this standard compliance and
|
|
on the capability of the operating system to perform SCSI transactions
|
|
over the particular bus cabling.
|
|
@*
|
|
@cindex Session, _definiton
|
|
A @strong{Session} is a data region on an optical disc which usually
|
|
gets written in a single sweep. It contains at least one
|
|
@cindex Track, _definiton
|
|
@strong{Track} which is a contiguous string of readable blocks.
|
|
@command{xorrecord} produces a single session with a single data track
|
|
which consists of blocks with 2048 bytes each. It chooses the write mode
|
|
automatically according to media type, medium state, and option -multi.
|
|
@*
|
|
On CD media there are other track types, like audio, and particular write
|
|
modes like TAO and SAO. CD and DVD- media can put more than one track into
|
|
a session. Some of these features can be addressed by program @strong{cdrskin}.
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
@cindex Media types, _definiton
|
|
MMC describes several recordable @strong{media types} which roughly form two
|
|
families.
|
|
@*
|
|
@cindex Sequentially recordable media, _definiton
|
|
@strong{Sequentially recordable media}
|
|
are CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R DL, BD-R.
|
|
Except DVD-R DL they can store more than one session if there is still
|
|
unwritten space and if the previous session was written with option
|
|
@strong{-multi}. CD-RW and DVD-RW can be blanked in order to be re-usable
|
|
from scratch.
|
|
@*
|
|
@cindex Overwritable media, _definiton
|
|
@strong{Overwritable media} are DVD-RAM, DVD+RW, formatted DVD-RW, BD-RE.
|
|
They offer a single session with a single track for random access writing.
|
|
There is no need to blank overwritable media before re-use.
|
|
@*
|
|
DVD-RW media are sold in sequentially recordable state but can be
|
|
formatted once to become overwritable. See options
|
|
@strong{blank=format_overwrite} and @strong{blank=deformat}.
|
|
@*
|
|
If ISO 9660 filesystems are to be stored on overwritable media, then it
|
|
is possible to emulate multiple sessions, by using option
|
|
@strong{--grow_overwriteable_iso}. In this case, the need for
|
|
blanking before re-use is emulated too.

@node Drive, Xorriso, Standards, Top

@chapter Drive preparation and addressing
|
|
@c man .PP
|
|
The drives, CD, DVD, or BD burners, are accessed via file addresses which
|
|
are specific to libburn and the operating system. Those addresses get listed
|
|
by a run of @command{xorrecord --devices} or @command{xorriso -device_links}.
|
|
@*
|
|
On GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, and NetBSD, the user needs rw-permission for the
|
|
device file.
|
|
On Solaris, the user needs r-permission and privilege "sys_devices",
|
|
which is usually gained by running @command{xorrecord} via command pfexec.
|
|
@*
|
|
These permissions or privileges are needed already for listing a drive.
|
|
So it might be necessary to get the overview as superuser or via pfexec.
|
|
@*
|
|
@command{xorrecord} does not perform cdrecord option -scanbus and does
|
|
not accept the addresses of form Bus,Target,Lun which are told by -scanbus.
|
|
If support for these addresses is necessary, consider to use program cdrskin.
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
It is possible to let @command{xorrecord} work on emulated drives.
|
|
Their addresses begin by prefix "stdio:" followed by a file address.
|
|
The emulated media behavior depends on the file type.
|
|
See man xorriso for details.
|
|
@*
|
|
If standard output is chosen as emulated drive, then all program result
|
|
texts, which usually appear on standard output, will get redirected to
|
|
standard error.

@c man \fBRelation to program xorriso:\fR

@c man .br
|
|
@cindex xorriso, mkisofs emulation
|
|
@command{xorrecord} is actually a command mode of program @strong{xorriso},
|
|
which gets entered either by xorriso command "-as cdrecord" or by
|
|
starting the program by one of the names "xorrecord", "cdrecord",
|
|
"wodim", or "cdrskin".
|
|
@*
|
|
This command mode can be left by argument "@minus{}@minus{}" which leads
|
|
to generic xorriso command mode. See @strong{man xorriso} for its description.
|
|
Other than in xorriso command mode, the sequence of the cdrecord emulation
|
|
options does not matter.
|
|
All pending actions get performed in a fixed sequence before the program
|
|
run ends or before cdrecord emulation ends.

the medium product name.
|
|
@*
|
|
Profiles are usage models, which are often tied to a particular media type
|
|
(e.g. CD-RW), but may also apply to a family of media. E.g. profile CD-ROM
|
|
applies to all CD media which contain data.
|

@c man .TP

@item -toc
|
|
@kindex -toc inquire medium content
|
|
@cindex medium content, inquire, -toc
|

Print a table of content of the medium in the drive. The output is not
|
|
compatible to
|
|
cdrecord option -toc, but rather the one of @command{xorriso} command -toc.
|
|
It lists the address, vendor, model name, and firmware revision of the drive.
|
|
@*
|
|
About the medium it tells product name and manufacturer, whether there
|
|
is already content written, and if so, whether the medium is closed or
|
|
appendable. Appendable media can take another session.
|
|
The amount of readable and writable data is told.
|
|
If there are sessions, then their start block address and size is reported.
|
|
If a session contains an ISO 9660 filesystem, then its Volume Id is reported.
|
|
If the medium is writable, then the next writable block address is reported.
|
|
@*
|
|
If not option @strong{--grow_overwriteable_iso} is given or no ISO 9660
|
|
file system is present on the medium, then overwritable media are reported
|
|
as being blank. This is due to the fact that they can be written from
|
|
scratch without further preparation, and that MMC does not distinguish
|
|
between data written by the most previous burn run and older data
|
|
which have not been overwritten by that burn run.
|
|
Consequently, these media are reported with 0 readable blocks, although
|
|
all their writable blocks normally are readable, too.

@cindex multi-session info, retrieve, -msinfo
|
|
Print the argument text for option -C of programs mkisofs, genisoimage,
|
|
or xorrisofs. It consists of two numbers separated by a comma.
|
|
@*
|
|
The first number tells the first block of the first track of the last recorded
|
|
session. This is also the address used by default when operating systems
|
|
mount a medium with e.g. ISO 9660 filesystem.
|
|
@*
|
|
The second number tells the next writable address, where @command{xorrecord}
|
|
will begin to write the next session.
|
|
@*
|
|
This option is only valid for written, appendable media. In all other
|
|
cases it will yield no output text but will abort the program
|
|
with non-zero exit value.

@c man .PP
|
|
A burn run requires exactly one track source address argument, which
|
|
tells from where to read the data which shall be put into the upcomming
|
|
session. The medium state must be either blank or appendable.
|
|
@*
|
|
Track source may be "-" for standard input or the address of a readable
|
|
file of any type except directories. Nearly all media types accept a track
|
|
source with unpredictable byte count, like standard input or named pipes.
|
|
Nevertheless, DVD-R DL and DVD-RW blanked by mode deformat_quickest
|
|
demand exact in-advance reservation of the track size, so that they either
|
|
need to be read from a source of
|
|
predictable length, or need to be accompanied by option @strong{tsize=} or
|
|
by option @strong{-isosize}.
|
|
@*
|
|
Several options expect a size value as argument. A number with a trailing
|
|
letter "b" or without a trailing letter is a plain byte count. Other trailing
|
|
letters cause multiplication of the given number by a scaling factor:
|
|
@*
|
|
"k" or "K" = 1024 , "m" or "M" = 1024k , "g" or "G" = 1024m , "s" or "S" = 2048
|
|
@*
|
|
E.g. tsize=234567s means a size of 234567 * 2048 = 480393216 bytes.

This operation normally makes any recorded data on the medium unreadable.

It is combinable with burning in the same run of @command{xorrecord},

It is a reason to abort if the medium cannot assume thoroughly writeable
|
|
state, e.g. if it is a non-blank write-once.

This leaves unformatted DVD-RW in unformatted blank state. To format DVD-RW use

@cindex Media, keep appendable, -multi
|
|
This option keeps CD, unformatted DVD-R[W], DVD+R, or BD-R 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.
|
|
@*
|
|
This option cannot be applied to DVD-R DL or to DVD-RW which were blanked
|
|
by mode "deformat_quickest". Option --multi_if_possible
|
|
may automatically recognize and handle this situation.
|
|
@*
|
|
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, genisoimage, and xorrisofs expect particular info about
|
|
the situation which can be retrieved by @command{xorrecord} option -msinfo.
|
|
@*
|
|
With overwriteable DVD or BD media, -multi cannot mark the end of the session.
|
|
So when adding a new session, this end has to be determined from the payload.
|
|
Currently only ISO-9660 filesystems can be used that way. See option
|
|
@strong{--grow_overwriteable_iso}.

Wait until input data is available at stdin or EOF occurs at stdin.
|
|
Only then begin to access any drives.
|
|
@*
|
|
One should use this if xorrisofs is working at the end of a pipe where the
|
|
feeder process reads from the drive before it starts writing its output into
|

xorrisofs. Example:
|
|
@*

|
|
@*
|
|
xorrecord dev=/dev/sr0 ... -waiti -
|
|
@*
|
|
This option works even if standard input is not the track source. If no process
|
|
is piping in, then the Enter key of your terminal will act as trigger for
|
|
@command{xorrecord}. Note that this input line will not be consumed by
|
|
cdrskin if standard input is not the track source. It will end up as shell
|
|
command, usually.

Announce the exact size of the track source. This is necessary with

DVD-R DL media and with quickest blanked DVD-RW, if the size cannot be
|
|
determined in advance from the track source. E.g. if it is standard input
|
|
or a named pipe.
|
|
@*
|
|
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 xorrecord
|
|
exits with non-zero value.

This works only if the track source bears an ISO 9660 filesystem.
|
|
Any other track source content will cause the burn run to abort.
|
|
@*

If the track source is not a regular file or block device, then this option

Explicitly demand that write type TAO shall be used for CD, or Incremental

|
|
Set the size of the program fifo buffer to the given value
|
|
rather than the default of 4m.
|
|
@*
|
|
The fifo buffers a 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.
|
|
@*
|
|
Other than cdrecord, xorrecord enables drive buffer underrun protection by
|
|
default and does not wait with writing until the fifo is full for a first
|
|
time.
|
|
On very old CD drives and slow computers, this might cause aborted burn runs.
|
|
In this case, consider to use program @strong{cdrskin} for CD burning.
|
|
DVD and BD drives tolerate buffer underrun without problems.
|
|
@*
|
|
The larger the fifo, the longer periods of poor source supply can be
|
|
compensated. But a large fifo can deprive the operating system of read cache
|
|
for better filesystem performance.
|
|
@c man .TP
|
|
@item speed=value
|
|
@kindex speed= set write speed
|
|
@cindex Speed, set for writing, speed=
|
|
Set the write speed. Default is 0 = maximum speed.
|
|
Speed can be given in media type dependent x-speed numbers or as a
|
|
desired throughput per second in MMC compliant kB (= 1000)
|
|
or MB (= 1000 kB). Media x-speed factor can be set explicitly
|
|
by appending "c" for CD, "d" for DVD, "b" for BD. "x" is optional.
|
|
@*
|
|
Example speeds:
|
|
@*
|
|
706k = 706kB/s = 4c = 4xCD
|
|
@*
|
|
5540k = 5540kB/s = 4d = 4xDVD
|
|
@*
|
|
If there is no hint about the speed unit attached, then the
|
|
medium in the drive will decide.
|
|
Default unit is CD, 1x = 176,400 raw bytes/second.
|
|
With DVD, 1x = 1,385,000 bytes/second.
|
|
With BD, 1x = 4,495,625 bytes/second.
|
|
@*
|
|
MMC drives usually activate their own idea of speed and take
|
|
the speed value given by the burn program only as a hint
|
|
for their own decision.

GNU/Linux specific:
|
|
@*
|
|
By default, cdrskin tries to map Linux drive addresses to /dev/sr* before
|
|
they get opened for operating the drive. This coordinates well with
|
|
other use cases of optical drives, like mount(8). But since year 2010
|
|
all /dev/sr* share a global lock which allows only one drive to process
|
|
an SCSI command while all others have to wait for its completion.
|
|
This yields awful throughput if more than one drive is writing or reading
|
|
simultaneously.
|
|
@*
|
|
The global lock is not applied to device files /dev/sg* and also not with
|
|
the system calls read(2), write(2). But ioctl(SG_IO) is affected, which is
|
|
needed to perform the SCSI commands for optical burning.
|
|
@*
|
|
So for simultaneous burn runs on modern GNU/Linux it is advisable to use
|
|
drive_scsi_dev_family="sg". The drive addresses may then well be given as
|
|
/dev/sr* but will nevertheless get used as /dev/sg*.

Enable emulation of multi-session writing on overwriteable media which

|
|
@*
|
|
--grow_overwriteable_iso does not hamper the use of true multi-session media.
|
|
I.e. it is possible to use the same @command{xorrecord} options with both
|
|
kinds of media
|
|
and to achieve similar results if ISO 9660 filesystem images are to be written.
|
|
This option implies option -isosize and therefore demands that the track

|
source is a ISO 9660 filesystem image.
|
|
@*
|
|
With overwriteable media and no option blank=fast|all present it expands an
|
|
eventual ISO 9660 filesystem on media. It is assumed that this image's inner
|
|
size description points to the end of the valuable data.
|
|
Overwriteable media with a recognizable ISO 9660 size will be regarded as
|
|
appendable rather than as blank. I.e. options -msinfo and -toc will work.

-toc will always show a single session with its size increasing with

|
|
Parameter "on" (or "1") keeps the program from trying to write to the burner
|
|
drive while its buffer is in danger to be filled over a given limit.
|
|
If this filling is exceeded then the program will wait until the filling

|
reaches a given low percentage value.
|
|
@*
|
|
This can ease the load on operating system and drive controller and thus help
|
|
with achieving better input bandwidth if disk and burner are not on independent
|
|
controllers (like hda and hdb). It may also help with simultaneous burns on
|
|
different burners with Linux kernels like 3.16, if one has reason not to fix
|
|
the problem by drive_scsi_dev_family="sg". On the other hand it increases
|
|
the risk of buffer underflow and thus reduced write speed.
|
|
@*
|
|
Some burners are not suitable because they
|
|
report buffer fill with granularity too coarse in size or time,
|
|
or expect their buffer to be filled to the top before they go to full speed.

range without a prepended name are interpreted as "on:min_percent=".
|

If the drive buffer appears to be too full for sending more data, the

This command may also be used to format BD-R media before first use,

in order to enable handling of write errors. Several hundred MB of spare

blocks will be reserved and write runs on such media will perform

|
with less than half nominal speed.

@c man .SS

@c man .B Write multiple ISO 9660 sessions:
|
|
@node ExIsoMulti, ExIsoFly, ExIsoSingle, Examples
|
|
@section Write multiple ISO 9660 sessions
|
|
This is possible with all media except minimally blanked DVD-RW and DVD-R DL,
|
|
which cannot do multi-session.
|
|
@*
|
|
The first session is written like in the previous example, except that
|
|
option -multi is used. It will contain the files of hard disk
|
|
directory ./tree1 under the ISO 9660 directory /dir1:
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
$ xorrisofs -o image_1.iso -J -graft-points /dir1=./tree1
|
|
@*
|
|
$ xorrecord -v dev=/dev/sr0 speed=12 fs=8m \
|
|
@*
|
|
-multi --grow_overwriteable_iso \
|
|
@*
|
|
blank=as_needed -eject padsize=300k image_1.iso
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
For the second session xorrisofs needs to know the -msinfo numbers
|
|
of the medium. Further it will read data from the medium by using the
|
|
system's read-only CD-ROM driver.
|
|
@*
|
|
It is advised to load the tray manually
|
|
or via dd by the CD-ROM driver, rather than letting xorrecord do this
|
|
by its own SCSI driver. Many system CD-ROM drivers do not take notice
|
|
of xorrecord's activities.
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
$ dd if=/dev/sr0 count=1 >/dev/null 2>&1
|
|
@*
|
|
Now get the -msinfo numbers:
|
|
@*
|
|
$ m=$(xorrecord dev=/dev/sr0 -msinfo)
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
and use them with xorrisofs to add ./tree2 to the image as /dir2:
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
$ xorrisofs -M /dev/sr0 -C $m -o image_2.iso \
|
|
@*
|
|
-J -graft-points /dir2=./tree2
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
Now burn the new session onto the same medium. This time without blanking:
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
$ xorrecord -v dev=/dev/sr0 speed=12 fs=8m \
|
|
@*
|
|
-multi --grow_overwriteable_iso \
|
|
@*
|
|
-eject padsize=300k image_2.iso
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
Operating systems which mount this medium will read the superblock
|
|
of the second session and show both directories /dir1 and /dir2.
|
|
@c man .SS

@c man .B Write ISO 9660 session on-the-fly:
|
|
@node ExIsoFly, ExAfio, ExIsoMulti, Examples
|
|
@section Write ISO 9660 session on-the-fly
|
|
It is possible to combine the run of @strong{xorrisofs} and @command{xorrecord}
|
|
in a pipeline without storing the ISO 9660 image as file on hard disk:
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
$ xorrisofs -M /dev/sr0 -C $m \
|
|
@*
|
|
-J -graft-points /dir2=./tree2 \
|
|
@*
|
|
| xorrecord -v dev=/dev/sr0 speed=12 fs=8m \
|
|
@*
|
|
-waiti -multi --grow_overwriteable_iso \
|
|
@*
|
|
-eject padsize=300k -
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
This is also the main use case of program @strong{xorriso} itself,
|
|
where this run would look like:
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
$ xorriso -dev /dev/sr0 -joliet on -speed 12 -fs 8m \
|
|
@*
|
|
-map ./tree2 /dir2 -commit_eject all
|
|
@c man .SS
|
|
@c man .B Write compressed afio archive on-the-fly:
|
|
@node ExAfio, , ExIsoFly, Examples
|
|
@section Write compressed afio archive on-the-fly
|
|
This is possible with all media except minimally blanked DVD-RW and DVD-R DL.
|
|
Since the compressed output stream is of very variable speed, a larger fifo
|
|
is advised. Nevertheless, this example is not suitable for very old CD drives
|
|
which have no underrun protection and thus would abort the burn run on
|
|
temporary data shortage.
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
$ find . | afio -oZ - | \
|
|
@*
|
|
xorrecord -v dev=/dev/sr0 speed=12 fs=64m \
|
|
@*
|
|
-multi padsize=300k -
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
afio archives do not contain references to absolute data block addresses. So
|
|
they need no special precautions for multi-session. One may get the session
|
|
start addresses by option -toc, and then use dd option skip= to begin reading
|
|
at one of those addresses. E.g. for listing its content:
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
$ dd if=/dev/sr0 bs=2048 skip=64046 | afio -tvZ -
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
afio will know when the end of the archive is reached.
