NAME
       cd-discid - read CD and get CDDB discid information

SYNOPSIS
       cd-discid [--musicbrainz] [devicename]

DESCRIPTION
       In  order  to  do  CDDB	queries  over the Internet, you must know the DiscID of the CD you are querying.  cd-discid provides you with that
       information. It outputs the discid, the number of tracks, the frame offset of all of the tracks, and the total length of the CD in seconds,
       on  one	line  in a space-delimited format.  cd-discid was designed as a backend tool for cdgrab (now abcde) but will work independently of
       it.

OPTIONS
       --musicbrainz
	      Output a TOC that is suitable for calculating the MusicBrainz disc id.

       devicename
	      CD-ROM block device name that contains the CD to be queried. If this option is omitted, the following device name is assumed:

	      /dev/cdrom
		     Linux and FreeBSD

	      /dev/cd0a
		     OpenBSD and NetBSD

	      /dev/vol/aliases/cdrom0
		     Solaris

	      /dev/disk1
		     MacOS X

	      /dev/cd0
		     Hurd
