Update. The iso-read part isn't true yet, but will be (one way or

another) by the next release.

This library is to encapsulate CD-ROM reading and
control. Applications wishing to be oblivious of the OS- and
device-dependant properties of a CD-ROM can use this library.
The libcdio package contains a library which encapsulates CD-ROM
reading and control. Applications wishing to be oblivious of the OS-
and device-dependant properties of a CD-ROM can use this library.
Also included is a library for working with ISO-9660 filesystems.
Some support for disk image types like BIN/CUE and NRG is available,
so applications that use this library also have the ability to read
disc images as though they were CD's.
Immediate uses are VCDImager, a navigation-capable Video CD plugin
and CD-DA plugin for the media player xine.
Immediate of the library in this package are the Video CD authoring
and ripping tools VCDImager (http://vcdimager.org), a
navigation-capable Video CD plugin and CD-DA plugins for the media
players xine (http://xinehq.de) and videolan's vlc
(http://videolan.org).
A sample utility, cdinfo, is included which displayings CD info.
Also include in the libcdio package is a utility program cd-info which
displays CD information: number of tracks, CD-format and if possible
basic information about the format. If libcddb
(http://libcdddb.sourceforge.net) is available, the cd-info program
will display CDDB matches on CD-DA discs. And if a new enough version
of libvcdinfo is available (from the vcdimager project), then cd-info
shows basic VCD information.
If libcddb (http://libcddb.sourceforge.net) is available, the cdinfo
program will display CDDB matches on CD-DA discs.
Other utility programs in the libcdio package are cd-read, for
performing low-level block reading of a CD or CD image, iso-info for
displaying ISO-9660 information from an ISO-9660 image, and iso-read
for extracting files from an ISO-9660 image.
