cdcontrol is a program to control the audio features of a CD drive. The device is a name such as cd0 or mcd0.
If the device is not specified, the environment variables MUSIC_CD, CD_DRIVE, DISC and CDPLAY are used (in this order) to find the cd device.
If no command is given, cdcontrol enters an interactive mode, reading commands from the standard input.
The following options are available:
Silent mode - does not print table headers or comments visible to users.
Verbose mode - prints as much information as possible.
Specifies a device, such as /dev/cd0c or mcd0. Both an absolute path and a path relative to /dev filename are possible. Suffix `c' is added to the device name, if required.
