CDAPPEND(1) General Commands Manual 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 conjunc- tion 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 'cd- bkup'. -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 op- tion 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, cdappend attempts to autodetect the size of the disk and uses a default of 650,000,000 bytes if autodetection fails. This option disables au- todetection. -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 spec- ify 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.
