CDRWTOOL(1) General Commands Manual CDRWTOOL(1)
cdrwtool - perform various actions on a CD-R, CD-RW, and DVD-R

cdrwtool -d device -s [ write-parameters ]
cdrwtool -d device -q [ write-parameters ]
cdrwtool -d device -m offset [ write-parameters ]
cdwrtool -d device -u blocks [ write-parameters ]

cdwrtool -d device -r track [ write-parameters ]
cdrwtool -h
The cdwrtool command can perform certain actions on a CD-R, CD-
RW, or DVD-R device. Mainly these are blanking the media,
formatting it for use with the packet-cd device, and applying an
UDF filesystem.
The most common usage is probably the `quick setup' option:
cdrwtool -d device -q
which will blank the disc, format it as one large track, and
write the UDF filesystem structures.
Other options get and set various parameters of how the device is
set up, and provide for different offsets, modes and settings
from the defaults.
The usefulness of most of the options is not explained.
Main directives:
-d device
Specify the device to use. eg. /dev/sr0
-i Print disc track info.
-g Print write parameters.
-u length
Make a UDF filesystem using length number of blocks.
-q `Quick setup': blank the disc, format it as one large
track and write a UDF filesystem.
-m offset
Format the disc at offset number of blocks.
-b mode
Blank the disk using a mode of `full' or `fast'.
-f filename
Write file.
-c track
Close track.
-r track
Reserve track.
-z length
Fixed packet length.
-s Set write parameters determined by -l, -w, and -p options
for the disc.
-v version
Specify the udf revision to use. Valid revisions are
0x0201, 0x0200 and 0x0150. If omitted, mkudffs udf-
version is 0x0150.
-h Prints a sparse help message.
Write parameters:
-t speed
Set write speed. (Defaults to 12x ?)
-l type
Set multi-session field. Either `0' (default), `1', or
`3', corresponding to `No B0 pointer. Next Session not
allowed', `B0 pointer = FF:FF:FF. Next session not
allowed', and `Next session allowed. B0 pointer = next
possible program area' respectively.
-w mode
Set write mode. Either `mode1' or `mode2' (default).
-p type
Set packet type. Either `0' or `1' (default),
corresponding to variable and fixed packet sizes
respectively.
-o offset
Set write offset.
Many modern drives refuse on the preparations to format new,
blanked, or appendable CD-RW media. This causes a message like
Command failed: 55 ... - sense ...
The remedy is to use a CD-capable burn program for writing a
session and closing the medium. For example by using any of
"cdrecord", "wodim", "cdrskin", or "xorriso -as cdrecord" as
content of variable prog in:
prog="xorriso -as cdrecord"
drive="/dev/sr0"
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=10 | $prog -v -eject dev="$drive" -
