CDCAT(1) General Commands Manual CDCAT(1) NAME cdcat - Copy data from one or more CD-ROMs to STDOUT. SYNOPSIS cdcat [ -d, --device=PATH ] [ -h, --help ] [ -p, --prefix=NAME ] [ -t, --test ] [ -V, --version ] OPTIONS -d, --device=PATH Use the specified CD-ROM device. The default is /dev/cdrom. -h, --help Show usage message and quit. -p, --prefix=NAME Specify the filename prefix as used on the CD images. The de- fault value ('') normally works fine. The first CD is always searched for files matching the shell pattern NAME*. If multi- ple matches are found, the user is prompted to choose one of them. If the selected file ends with '.1', then the backup is assumed to be multidisk. -t, --test Do not use the CD-ROM drive. In this mode, everything proceeds normally, except that the backup files are searched for in the current directory, rather than on CD-ROMs. The CD-ROM drive is never actually mounted or unmounted. -V, --version Print the version number and exit. DESCRIPTION This manual page documents briefly the cdcat filesystem restore util- ity. CDCat concatenates components of a filesystem backup from one or more CD-ROMs, and writes its output to STDOUT. It is used as an interactive front-end for cdrstr (1). SEE ALSO cdappend(1), cdbkup(1), cdrstr(1), cdsplit(1). AUTHOR John-Paul Gignac <jp@gignac.org> July 22, 2001 CDCAT(1)
