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

NAME
     cdr - CD-Recordable drive control program

SYNOPSIS
     cdr [-f device] -c command [-P parameter=value,...] [-d] [-p
	 parameter,...] [-v parameter,...] [-x]

DESCRIPTION
     This command is used to run SCSI commands on a specified device as a di-
     agnostic.	The structure and use of this command is identical to
     scsicmd(8),  with the addition of commands specific to CD-Recordable
     drives and the error code table extended to include the common error mes-
     sages returned by CDRs.

     This command is not intended for general use, but is convenient as a di-
     agnostic tool for the expert user.	 Typically, the cdread(8) and cd-
     write(8) commands should be used instead.

ENVIRONMENT
     CDR	 The default device filename.  It may be overridden with -f.

DIAGNOSTICS
     Among its many messages about consistency of arguments and so on, cdr
     will print a message beginning ``scsi status:'' if a command fails for
     some reason.

SEE ALSO
     scsicmd(8),  sr(4),  cdread(8),  cdwrite(8)

STANDARDS
     American National Standard X3.131-1986, Small Computer System Interface
     (SCSI-1)

     American National Standard X3.131-1991 (SCSI-2)

HISTORY
     cdr was derived from scsicmd(8).

BUGS
     None known, but it's certainly possible.  The interface is clumsy and
     suitable only for expert users.
