NAME
cdrom - CD-ROM disk interface
SYNOPSIS
bind -a #Rn /dev /dev/cdn bind -a #m /dev /dev/cd /dev/cdctl
DESCRIPTION
The SCSI CD-ROM disk interface (#R) serves a one-level directory for a SCSI target holding a CD-ROM drive. Each drive is represented as a single file named #Rn/cdn, where n is the target number. A separate attach is necessary for each drive. On PCs, Panasonic, Matsushita, and Mitsumi CD-ROM drives connected to a Sound Blaster 16, Pro, MCD, or ACX card are also supported. This interface (#m) device serves a data file, #m/cd, and a control file, #m/cdctl. The control file is read-only and contains a string stating the type of drive and its port number. The driver determines the type of CD-ROM drive by a parameter in plan9.ini; see plan9.ini(8).
