X-CD-ROAST(1)		     General Commands Manual		   X-CD-ROAST(1)

NAME
     xcdroast - graphical frontend to create or copy CDs.

SYNOPSIS
     xcdroast  [-d  <debug-level>]  [-c <config-directory>] [-l <lib-directory>]
     [-o] [-n] [-w] [-a] [-f "<list  of  scsi-devices>"]  [--display  <display>]
     [--no-xshm]

DESCRIPTION
     xcdroast  is  a  program-package dedicated to easy CD creation. It combines
     command line tools like cdrecord,	cdda2wav,  readcd  and	mkisofs  into  a
     graphical user interface.

     With a few simple mouse-clicks you can copy or create your own CDs, without
     long study of any command line parameters.

   OPTIONS
     -d <debug-level>
	    Run  X-CD-Roast in debug mode, which causes a lot of text to be out-
	    put on the console. Set the debug-level  to  10  and  reproduce  the
	    problem to generate a useable bug-report.

     -c <config-directory>
	    Sets  the  directory  where  X-CD-Roast  should  look for the config
	    files. By default this is set to $HOME/.xcdroast.

     -l <lib-directory>
	    Sets the directory where X-CD-Roast  should  look  for  its  library
	    files  (like  icons,  translations	and  sounds). By default this is
	    /usr/lib/xcdroast-0.98 or /usr/local/lib/xcdroast-0.98  (depends  on
	    your installation).

     -o     This  disables  multibyte font support. This might be handy when you
	    have problems to display some special characters  in  the  on-screen
	    texts. (e.g. german umlauts)

	    Note: This option has no effect on GTK2 builds.

     -n     Disables  the  cdrtools version check and allows X-CD-Roast to start
	    when even wrong versions of cdrecord, mkisofs,  readcd  or	cdda2wav
	    are  installed. Use at own risk! This also overrides the forced exit
	    when you don't meet the 800x600 minimal resolution requirement.

     -w     Don't use cdrecord-ProDVD, even when it is installed.  Sometimes  it
	    may  be desireable to use only the free version of cdrecord. In this
	    case you can disable ProDVD support here without  needing  to  dein-
	    stall the ProDVD-binary.

     -a     Disable  additional  scans for CD-Writers or CD-Readers. In addition
	    to the usual SCSI transport support (generic scsi), X-CD-Roast  also
	    supports the experimental ATA-transport of the latest linux kernels.
	    If you set this option then this extra support will be disabled.

	    On	Mac  OS  X  this  option  will	disable  the  display of the au-
	    todiskmount daemon handling code. Useful when you have  other  means
	    to handle the mount issue.

     -f "<list of scsi-devices>"
	    Will  not  scan  for  devices, but force X-CD-Roast to use the given
	    ones (semicolon seperated list). Most useful on AIX or OpenBSD  sys-
	    tem  where	scanning  fails. Can be also used to use remote-SCSI de-
	    vices. You can set these devices also within the setup menu.

     --display <display>
	    Use the designated X display.

     --no-xshm
	    Do not use the X Shared Memory extension.  If  X-CD-Roast  is  being
	    displayed  on  a remote X server, this probably needs to be enabled.
	    Also useful for any X server that doesn't  properly  support  the  X
	    shared  memory  extension.	 This  will result in slower performance
	    than with X shared memory enabled.

Multiple concurrent instances
     It is possible to start X-CD-Roast more than once at the  same  time.  This
     way you can write to several CD-Writers if your system can handle the load.

     Be  sure to give each instance of X-CD-Roast own devices and don't scan for
     devices while another copy of X-CD-Roast is already running. Also note that
     writing two CDs at the same time requires that the writers are at a own IDE
     bus each. (Real SCSI devices should be fine.)

BUGS
     This 'man' page is to short. Really useable information can be found in the
     documentation    included	  with	  X-CD-Roast,	 in    the    FAQ     on
     http://www.xcdroast.org/faq      or      the     online	 tutorial     on
