CDAPPEND(1)							   CDAPPEND(1)

NAME
       cdappend - Copy STDIN onto a CD-R(W).

SYNOPSIS
       cdappend	 [  -1,	 --single  ]  [	 -b,  --blank  ]  [ -h, --help ] [ -n,
       --name=NAME  ]  [  -r,  --recycle  ]  [	-s,  --speed=SPEED  ]  [   -S,
       --cdsize=SIZE ] [ -t, --test ] [ -V, --version ] [ -w, --workdir=PATH ]
       DEVICE

OPTIONS
       -1, --single
	      Burn the image in single session mode.  This means that you will
	      not  be able to append any more images to this disk until the CD
	      is blanked (if it's a CD-RW).

       -b, --blank
	      Blank disk before writing.  This option may not be used in  con‐
	      junction with --recycle (-r).

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

       -n, --name=NAME
	      Set  the filename to be used on the CD.  The default filename is
	      'cdbkup'.

       -r, --recycle
	      If the image is too large to fit in the available space  on  the
	      disk,  but it will still fit on a blank disk, the CD is blanked.
	      This option conflicts with --blank.

       -s, --speed=SPEED
	      Set the burn speed.  The default is 2.

       -S, --cdsize=SIZE
	      Specify the size of the output medium in bytes.  Normally, cdap‐
	      pend  attempts  to  autodetect  the  size of the disk and uses a
	      default of  650,000,000  bytes  if  autodetection	 fails.	  This
	      option disables autodetection.

       -t, --test
	      Do not use the CD-ROM burner.  In this mode, the backup proceeds
	      normally, except that the backup file is saved as an  ISO	 image
	      in the current directory instead of being burned onto a CD-R(W).
	      If -t is used, the following options are ignored:	 -1,  -b,  -r,
	      -s.

	      The  --cdsize  option  can be used in conjunction with --test to
	      specify the maximum size of the ISO image.

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

       -w, --workdir=PATH
	      Set the  working	directory  as  specified.   If	the  directory
	      doesn't exist, it will be created.

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the cdappend backup utility.

       CDAppend copies its standard input into a file on the CD-R(W) currently
       in the drive.  It is non-interactive.  If the image will not fit on the
       disk, it prints an error and returns a non-zero status code.

DEVICES
       The device specified on the command line is the SCSI device for the CD-
       ROM burner.  For more information, see cdrecord (1).
