CDPLAY(1)               NetBSD General Commands Manual               CDPLAY(1)


NAME

     cdplay - compact disc player


SYNOPSIS

     cdplay [-f device] [command ...]


DESCRIPTION

     cdplay is a program to control the audio features of a CD-ROM drive.

     If no command is given, then cdplay enters interactive mode, reading com-
     mands from the standard input.

     The following options are available:

     -f device
             Specify the control device to use.  Both absolute paths and paths
             relative to /dev are accepted.  The suffix `c' (or `d' on some
             architectures, see disklabel(8) for details) is added to the
             device name if needed.  If the device not specified, the environ-
             ment variables MUSIC_CD, CD_DRIVE, DISC and CDPLAY will be tried
             (in this order) to find the device.

     The available commands are listed below.  Only as many characters as are
     required to uniquely identify a command need be specified.  The word play
     can be omitted in all cases.
