Hi,
i have some issues and proposals for the readcd command:
1a.Would it be possible to synchronize the man page of readcd
with the -help options? In the man page, not all readcd
options are described (no -help, nor f=, for example).
1b.What is the starting sector number? 0 or 1?
2. I use readcd for copying self burned cd's where the problem
of the last 2 (or more) sectors arizes.
Some new options introduced into readcd would be be helpful:
a) A new option which says: stop reading if the last 2 sectors
(or more) cannot be read, but exit normally without error msg,
or
b) A new option to readcd which only outputs the sector
number of the cd, so that the usage of readcd within
shell or PERL scripts could be simplified!
For the moment, for getting the sector number of a cd,
I call in Perl:
my $sectors = (split / +/,`readcd dev=... f=/dev/null sectors=0-0
2>/dev/null`)[1];
And a shell script will be more complicated to get the appropriate info.
or
c) An option (-sb) for example which tells readcd that the source
is a burned cd.
Opinions on this issue?
Regards
Joachim Backes
