Reorganize directory structure for inclusion of cd-paranoia. Works for GNU/Linux. Other OS's may be broken. Regression test output needs to be adjusted too. Move: lib/driver (split off of lib) lib/iso9660 (split off of lib) Add from paranoia: lib/cdda_interface lib/paranoia src/paranoia Also made some small changes to capability indentification to show more reading capabilties and show that. cd-info now shows the total disc size.
The libcdio package contains a library which encapsulates CD-ROM reading and control. Applications wishing to be oblivious of the OS- and device-dependent 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 CDRWin's BIN/CUE format, cdrdao's TOC format, and Nero's NRG format are available. Therefore, applications that use this library also have the ability to read disc images as though they were CD's. Projects using libcdio 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), videolan's vlc (http://videolan.org), and kiso, a KDE GUI for creating, extracting and editing of ISO-Images (http://kiso.sourceforge.net). Also included 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. 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. At present, there is no support for directing CD Audio control, e.g. playing, stopping, or pausing of a CD-CA where the blocks are not actually read into the computer. Nor is there any support for writing CD's. Nor is there any support for reading or writing DVDs. For some of these, there are other libraries (e.g. libdi, libscg, or libdvdread) may be helpful. I'm not theoretically opposed to putting support like this into libcdio. However at present there are already many gaps in this library so narrowing its scope in order to focus on these things I think is a good idea. $Id: README,v 1.6 2004/06/26 10:01:09 rocky Exp $
