CDCONTROL(1)            FreeBSD General Commands Manual           CDCONTROL(1)


NAME

     cdcontrol -- compact disc control utility


SYNOPSIS

     cdcontrol [-sv] [-f device] [command ...]


DESCRIPTION

     The cdcontrol utility is a program to control audio features of a CD
     drive.  The device is a name such as cd0 or acd0.

     If no command is given, then cdcontrol enters an interactive mode, read-
     ing commands from the standard input.

     The following options are available:

     -s      Silent mode.  Do not print table headers and human readable com-
             ments.

     -v      Verbose mode.  Print as much information as possible.

     -f device
             Specify a device, such as /dev/cd0 or acd0.  Both absolute path
             and relative to /dev filename are possible.  The -f option over-
             rides CDROM.  If neither CDROM nor the -f option is specified,
             cdcontrol tries opening first /dev/cdrom, then /dev/cd0, and
             finally /dev/acd0.

     The available commands are listed below.  Only as many characters as are
     required to uniquely identify a command need be specified.  The word play
     can be omitted or the characters + and - can be used in the place of next
     and prev.

     play first_track [last_track]
             Play from track first_track to track last_track.  The first track

             utes, start_s, in seconds and start_f (frame number) to the abso-
             lute address defined by end_m in minutes, end_s, in seconds and
             end_f (frame number).  Minutes are in the range 0-99.  Seconds
