|

.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm worm
|
|
.Nd write-once (CD-R) disk driver
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
None.
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm worm
|
|
driver was provided under FreeBSD releases prior to
|
|
.Fx 3.0 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The FreeBSD
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
layer was replaced for
|
|
.Fx 3.0
|
|
by a CAM-compliant
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
layer. The new
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
layer doesn't include a
|
|
.Xr worm 4
|
|
driver, and isn't likely to include one in the future. Future in-kernel
|
|
support for CD-R/CD-RW/DVD drives will likely be implemented through the
|
|
.Xr cd 4
|
|
driver. Users who wish
|
|
to write CDs on a WORM, CD-R, or CD-RW drive
|
|
should use
|
|
.Nm cdrecord ,
|
|
which is in the FreeBSD ports collection.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr cd 4
|
|
driver provides read-only access to CD, CD-R, and CD-RW drives, as well as
|
|
WORM drives that support the CDROM command set. Therefore, users wishing
|
|
to mount CDs in a WORM drive should use the
|
|
.Xr cd 4
|
|
driver instead.

.Sh AUTHORS
|
|
The first skeleton for a
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver has been written by
|
|
.An Peter Dufault
|
|
in May, 1995. The driver has
|
|
then been improved and made actually usable at all by
|
|
.ie t J\(:org Wunsch
|
|
.el Joerg Wunsch
|
|
in January, 1996.
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver appeared in
|
|
.Fx 2.1 ,
|
|
and disappeared in
|
|
.Fx 3.0
|
|
with the advent of the CAM
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
layer.
