cdrom_id − udev callout to determine the capabilities of cd/dvd drives
cdrom_id [--export] blockdevice
cdrom_id is normally called from a udev rule, to provide udev with the capabilities of a cdrom or dvdrom drive. Udev can use this information to create symlinks like /dev/cdrom or /dev/dvd to the real device node.
cdrom_id opens the blockdevice node specified at the commandline and prints the discovered capabilities.
The following
commandline switches are supported to specify what cdrom_id
should print:
--export
print all values (default)
udev(7)
