NAME
       cdcat - Copy data from one or more CD-ROMs to STDOUT.

SYNOPSIS
       cdcat  [ -d, --device=PATH ] [ -h, --help ] [ -p, --prefix=NAME ] [ -t,
       --test ] [ -V, --version ]

OPTIONS
       -d, --device=PATH
	      Use the specified CD-ROM device.	The default is /dev/cdrom.

       -h, --help
	      Show usage message and quit.

       -p, --prefix=NAME
	      Specify the filename prefix as  used  on	the  CD	 images.   The
	      default  value ('') normally works fine.	The first CD is always
	      searched for files matching the shell pattern NAME*.  If	multi‐
	      ple  matches  are	 found,	 the user is prompted to choose one of
	      them.  If the selected file ends with '.1', then the  backup  is
	      assumed to be multidisk.

       -t, --test
	      Do  not use the CD-ROM drive.  In this mode, everything proceeds
	      normally, except that the backup files are searched for  in  the
	      current  directory, rather than on CD-ROMs.  The CD-ROM drive is
	      never actually mounted or unmounted.

       -V, --version
	      Print the version number and exit.

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the cdcat filesystem	restore	 util‐
       ity.

       CDCat  concatenates  components of a filesystem backup from one or more
       CD-ROMs, and writes its output to STDOUT.  It is used as an interactive
       front-end for cdrstr (1).
