NAME
cdcat - Copy data from one or more CD-ROMs to STDOUT.SYNOPSIS
cdcat [ -d, --device=PATH ] [ -h, --help ] [ -p, --prefix=NAME ] [ -t, --test ] [ -V, --version ]OPTIONS
- -d, --device=PATH
- Use the specified CD-ROM device. The default is /dev/cdrom.
- -h, --help
- Show usage message and quit.
- -p, --prefix=NAME
- Specify the filename prefix as used on the CD images. The default value ('') normally works fine. The first CD is always searched for files matching the shell pattern NAME*. If multiple matches are found, the user is prompted to choose one of them. If the selected file ends with '.1', then the backup is assumed to be multidisk.
- -t, --test
- Do not use the CD-ROM drive. In this mode, everything proceeds normally, except that the backup files are searched for in the current directory, rather than on CD-ROMs. The CD-ROM drive is never actually mounted or unmounted.
- -V, --version
- Print the version number and exit.
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the cdcat filesystem restore utility.CDCat concatenates components of a filesystem backup from one or more CD-ROMs, and writes its output to STDOUT. It is used as an interactive front-end for cdrstr (1).
