NAME¶
cdcd - Command Driven CD player
SYNOPSIS¶
cdcd [
OPTION]... [
COMMAND]
DESCRIPTION¶
cdcd allows control of a CD player either directly off of the command
line or in its own interactive query mode. Invoking cdcd without a command
will cause cdcd to enter query mode. Invoking cdcd with a command will cause
cdcd to execute that command and then terminate when it is finished.
OPTIONS¶
- --device DEVICE
- -d DEVICE
- Use DEVICE as the CD device. DEVICE is the
device special file name of the CD-ROM device. Do not use a Linux SCSI
Generic device.
USAGE¶
The following are the supported commands:
- play [start track] [end track]
[min: sec]
- If start track is specified, play will play the
specified track instead of the first track. If end track is
specified, the disc will be played from the start track to the end track.
start track and end track may either be part of or an entire
track title. If a starting position is specified (in the form
min:sec), then the disc will begin playing the specified
amount of time into the specified track. One may specify a starting
position without specifying a start track or only specify a
start track and starting position while specifying no end
track

- access [local, remote,

connect to a server whenever any CD information is required. If you need
to use a HTTP proxy, it may be specified in the form proxy url,
where url is the URL for your HTTP proxy
COMPLETION¶
cdcd uses traditional readline command and trackname completion. To complete a
command, simply hit 'tab' when you have typed a partially completed command.
To complete a trackname, first type whatever command you wish to pass a track
name to (e.g. play, ext) and then begin with a double quotation mark. Type the
beginning of the track name and then hit tab. The track name will be completed
for you.
