|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm wormcontrol
|
|
.Op Fl f Ar device
|
|
.Ar command
|
|
.Op Ar params...
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility is used to control the behaviour of the
|
|
.Xr worm 4
|
|
driver in order to adjust various parameters of a recordable CD
|
|
.Pq CD-R .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Unlike many other devices, CD-R's require a very strict handling order.
|
|
Prior to writing data, the speed of the drive must be selected, and
|
|
the drive can also be turned into a
|
|
.Ql dummy
|
|
mode, where every action is only performed with the laser turned off.
|
|
This way, it's possible to test whether the environment provides a
|
|
sufficiently high data flow rate in order to actually burn the CD-R,
|
|
without destroying the medium in case of a catastrophic failure.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In order to write a new track, the drive must be told whether the new
|
|
track will become an audio or a data track. Audio tracks are written
|
|
with a block size of 2352 bytes, while data tracks have 2048 bytes per
|
|
block. For audio tracks, the driver does further need to know
|
|
whether the data are recorded with a preemphasis.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Once all tracks of a session have been written, the disk must be
|
|
.Em fixated .
|
|
This writes the table of contents and leadout information to the disk.
|
|
The disk won't be usable without doing this.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ident
|
|
.It Fl f Ar device
|
|
Use
|
|
.Ar device
|
|
instead of the default
|
|
.Pa /dev/rworm0 .
|
|
.It prepdisk Ar single \&| double Op Ar dummy
|
|
Prepare the disk for recording. This must be done before any tracks
|
|
can be prepared, and remains in effect until the session has been
|
|
fixated. Either single speed
|
|
.Pq for audio data
|
|
or double speed
|
|
.Pq for CD-ROM data
|
|
must be selected, and optionally, the argument
|
|
.Ar dummy
|
|
can be used to tell the drive to keep the laser turned off, for testing.
|
|
.It track Ar audio \&| data Op Ar preemp
|
|
Inform the driver about the format of the next track. Either
|
|
.Ar audio
|
|
or
|
|
.Ar data
|
|
.Pq CD-ROM
|
|
must be selected, with an optional argument
|
|
.Ar preemp
|
|
that must be specified for an audio track where data records with
|
|
preemphasis are being used. Once this command has been successfully
|
|
specified, the track is ready for being written.
|
|
.It fixate Ar toc-type Op Ar onp
|
|
Once all tracks have been written, this closes the current session.
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Ar toc-type
|
|
is a single digit between 0 and 4, with the following meaning:
|
|
.Bl -item
|
|
.It
|
|
0 CD audio
|
|
.It
|
|
1 CD-ROM
|
|
.It
|
|
2 CD-ROM with first track in mode 1
|
|
.It
|
|
3 CD-ROM with first track in mode 2
|
|
.It
|
|
4 CDI
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The optional argument
|
|
.Ar onp
|
|
stands for
|
|
.Dq open next program area ,
|
|
which means that the next session on the CD-R will be opened and can
|
|
be recorded in the future. Otherwise, the CD-R will be closed and
|
|
remains unchangeable.
|
|
.It blank
|
|
Blank a CD-RW disk.
|
|
.It nextwriteable
|
|
Sets the next writeable location on the drive, used when writing
|
|
more than one track ie CD-DA (audio) disks.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
Error codes for the underlying
|
|
.Xr ioctl 2
|
|
commands are printed by the
|
|
.Xr err 3
|
|
facility.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The typical sequence of burning a data CD-R looks like:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
# wormcontrol prepdisk double
|
|
# wormcontrol track data
|
|
# rtprio 5 team -v 1m 5 < cdrom.image | rtprio 5 dd of=/dev/rworm0 obs=20k
|
|
# wormcontrol fixate 1
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that the
|
|
.Xr dd 1
|
|
command above is mainly used in order to
|
|
.Dq slice
|
|
the data stream. It's particularly useful when recording audio data
|
|
with their rather unusual blocksize. Since the underlying device is a
|
|
.Em raw
|
|
device, the blocksize used in that command must be an integral multiple
|
|
of the CD-R blocksize.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The mentioned command
|
|
.Xr team 1
|
|
is not part of the base system, but comes extremely handy in order to
|
|
pipe a constant data stream into the CD recorder.
