NAME

SYNOPSIS

OPTIONS

-1, --single

Burn the image in single session mode. This means that you will not be able to append any more images to this disk until the CD is blanked (if it's a CD-RW).

-b, --blank

Blank disk before writing. This option may not be used in conjunction with --recycle (-r).

-h, --help

Show usage message and quit.

-n, --name=NAME

Set the filename to be used on the CD. The default filename is 'cdbkup'.

-r, --recycle

If the image is too large to fit in the available space on the disk, but it will still fit on a blank disk, the CD is blanked. This option conflicts with --blank.

-s, --speed=SPEED

Set the burn speed. The default is 2.

-S, --cdsize=SIZE

Specify the size of the output medium in bytes. Normally, cdappend attempts to autodetect the size of the disk and uses a default of 650,000,000 bytes if autodetection fails. This option disables autodetection.

-t, --test

Do not use the CD-ROM burner. In this mode, the backup proceeds normally, except that the backup file is saved as an ISO image in the current directory instead of being burned onto a CD-R(W). If -t is used, the following options are ignored: -1, -b, -r, -s.

The --cdsize option can be used in conjunction with --test to specify the maximum size of the ISO image.

-V, --version

Print the version number and exit.

-w, --workdir=PATH

Set the working directory as specified. If the directory doesn't exist, it will be created.

DESCRIPTION

CDAppend copies its standard input into a file on the CD-R(W) currently in the drive. It is non-interactive. If the image will not fit on the disk, it prints an error and returns a non-zero status code.
