vcd-info: Some Examples

 
 4 Some simple command invocations.
 **********************************
 
 Perhaps all you want to do is dump the information about a CD that is
 currently sitting in your CD-ROM drive.  If the CD is in the "default"
 location for your OS, then this might work:
 
        vcd-info
 
    It means the same thing as:
        vcd-info --cdrom-device
 
    and using the "short" option:
        vcd-info -C
 
    I have a combined CD-ROM and DVD drive called '/dev/dvd'.  I have
 another CD-ROM drive which goes under the name '/dev/cdrom', but I
 generally prefer to use the DVD/CD-ROM drive for reading since it
 doesn't seem to run as hot.  Since that drive is not the "default"
 ('/dev/cdrom') on my GNU/Linux box, I have to give a location.  So this
 will work:
 
        vcd-info -C=/dev/dvd
 
    Or even better, I'll let 'vcd-info' figure out it's a CD-ROM device:
        vcd-info -i /dev/dvd
    The equals sign before '/dev/dvd' is optional in either format.
 
    Let's say you just used vcdimager or vcdxbuild it created output to
 its "default" location (probably 'videocd.cue' and 'videocd.bin'.  To
 dump out this out:
        vcd-info --cue-file
 
    But if you specified the output to go to say 'nausicaa.bin' and
 'nausicaa.cue' you would have to specify that location like this:
        vcd-info -c nausicaa.cue
 
    Or again not having to worry about what type of file you could use
 the "intelligent" input option again as we did before:
        vcd-info -i nausicaa.cue
 
    To list all of the sub-options to choose from in the Primary Volume
 Descriptor section (PVD) try this:
        vcd-info --show-pvd help
 
    Okay, now for for some more obscure stuff.  Let's say I'm writing a
 front-end GUI to do all sorts of stuff and I just need to pick out the
 format (VCD 1.1, VCD 2.0, SVCD, CVD, XVCD, or HQVCD) of the Video CD in
 the default drive.  Since I have to read in this output, I don't want
 any extra lines not relevant other than the version.
 
        vcd-info --no-banner --show-format
 
    Or even shorter:
        vcd-info -t -f
 
    I want to see the filesystem info and track info for the CD in my
 default drive
 
        vcd-info --show-tracks --show-filesystem
 
    I want to see the filesystem info and track info for the CD in my
 default drive
 
    And finally I want to see just the "data" part -- that is the list of
 the entries section, no summary information like a count or ID tag.
        vcd-info --show-entries data
