BURNCD(8)		  BSD System Manager's Manual		     BURNCD(8)

NAME
     burncd — control the ATAPI CD-R/RW driver

SYNOPSIS
     burncd [-delmnpqtv] [-f device] [-s speed] [command] [command file ...]

DESCRIPTION
     The burncd utility is used to burn CD-R/RW media using the ATAPI cd
     driver.

     Available options and operands:

     -d		   burn the CD-R/RW in DAO (disk at once) mode.

     -e		   eject the media when done.

     -f device	   set the device to use for the burning process.

     -l		   read a list of image files from filename.

     -m		   close disk in multisession mode (otherwise disk is closed
		   as singlesession).

     -n		   do not write gaps between data tracks in DAO mode.

     -p		   use preemphasis on audio tracks.

     -q		   quiet, do not print progress messages.

     -s speed	   set the speed of the burner device.	Defaults to 1.	Spec‐
		   ify “max” to use the drive's fastest speed.

     -t		   test write, do not actually write on the media.

     -v		   verbose, print extra progress messages.

     command may be one of:

     msinfo	   Show the first LBA of the last track on the media and the
		   next writeable address on the media for use with the
		   mkisofs(8)'s -C switch when adding additional data to ISO
		   file systems with extra sessions.

     blank	   Blank a CD-RW medium.  This uses the fast blanking method,
		   so data are not physically overwritten, only those areas
		   that make the media appear blank for further usage are
		   erased.

     erase	   Erase a CD-RW medium.  This erases the entire media.	 Can
		   take up to 1 hour to finish.

     fixate	   Fixate the medium so that the TOC is generated and the
		   media can be used in an ordinary CD drive.  The driver
		   defaults to creating singlesession media (see -m option).
		   Should be the last command to burncd as the program exits
		   when this has been done.  Ignored in DAO mode (see -d
		   option).

     raw | audio   Set the write mode to produce audio (raw mode) tracks for
		   the following images on the command line.

     data | mode1  Set the write mode to produce data (mode1) tracks for the
		   following image files on the command line.

     mode2	   Set the write mode to produce data (mode2) tracks for the
		   following image files on the command line.

     XAmode1	   Set the write mode to produce data (XAmode1) tracks for the
		   following image files on the command line.

     XAmode2	   Set the write mode to produce data (XAmode2) tracks for the
		   following image files on the command line.

     vcd	   Set the write mode to produce VCD/SVCD tracks for the fol‐
		   lowing image files on the command line.  This automatically
		   sets DAO (-d) and “no gaps” (-n) modes.

     file	   All other arguments are treated as filenames of images to
		   write to the media, or in case the -l option is used as
		   files containing lists of images.

     Files whose length are not a multiple of the current media blocksize are
     quietly zero padded to fit the blocksize requirement.  The conventional
     filename - refers to stdin, and can only be used once.

EXAMPLES
     The typical usage for burning a data CD-R:

	   burncd -f /dev/acd0c data file1 fixate

     The typical usage for burning an audio CD-R:

	   burncd -f /dev/acd0c audio file1 file2 file3 fixate

     The typical usage for burning an audio CD-R in DAO mode:

	   burncd -f /dev/acd0c -d audio file1 file2 file3

     The typical usage for burning a mixed mode CD-R:

	   burncd -f /dev/acd0c data file1 audio file2 file3 fixate

     The typical usage for burning from a compressed image file on stdin:

	   gunzip -c file.iso.gz | burncd -f /dev/acd0c data - fixate

     In the examples above, the files burned to data CD-Rs are assumed to be
     ISO9660 file systems.  mkisofs(8), available in the pkgsrc(7) collection,
     is commonly used to create ISO9660 file system images from a given direc‐
     tory tree.

HISTORY
     The burncd utility appeared in FreeBSD 4.0.
