cam-cdrom.so

Provide a common access method for CD-ROMs

Syntax:

driver ... cdrom cdrom_options ... &

Runs on:

Neutrino

Options:

driver

One of the devb-* drivers.

The cdrom options control the driver's interface to cam-cdrom.so for CD-ROM devices. If specified, they must follow the cdrom keyword:

name=prefix

Specify the device prefix (default: cd);

retries=num:path_id:target:lun

Set the maximum number of command retries on the specified path, target, and lun. The default is 10.

timeout=time:path_id:target:lun

Set the command timeout on the specified path, target, and lun. The default for a CD-ROM is 10 seconds; for a CD changer, it's 20 seconds.

verbose[=level]

Be verbose. If you don't specify a level, cam-cdrom.so increments the current level by one.

Description:

The cam-cdrom.so shared object provides common access methods (CAMs) for CD-ROM devices.
